[jira] Commented: (AVRO-124) avro release artifact includes ivy jar file but no license

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-124?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12759708#action_12759708 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-124:
-----------------------------------

I'd currently intended to include all of the dependent jar files in the release, so that the release can be used standalone & offline, without folks having to locate dependencies, with Ivy or otherwise.  Given that, the lack of an Ivy license file is an oversight.  It's under the AL2, so the top-level license covers us legally, but, by convention, we're including the license files for other AL2 stuff in lib and should be consistent.  Does that make sense?

Ideally we should probably configure Ivy so that it looks in the lib/ directory for dependencies so that offline builds work when a release is first unpacked.  I just tried to configure that but failed to find a simple way to do it yet...

> The release artifact includes the ivy jar, but no license file, notice, etc...
> I believe that you don't intend to ship this, but it snuck into the release based on it being in the lib directory? (esp since the build.xml will d/l the jar if it's missing)
> You probably just need to explicitly exclude it when building the release package (see ZooKeeper build.xml, I found the same issue there when moving to ivy)
