[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-900) RELEASENOTES file needs to be ignored by RAT

["Ralph Goers (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-900?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13174479#comment-13174479 ] 

Ralph Goers commented on FLUME-900:
-----------------------------------

When all else fails I tend to look at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-parent/trunk/pom.xml.  That said, it only declares the rat plugin and has no extra configuration.  Looking at http://commons.apache.org/vfs/rat-report.html I see that release notes are typically marked along with LICENSE and NOTICE file. However, they normally are named RELEASE-NOTES.txt for that to happen (which also happens to be the common naming convention for the file).

> The RELEASENOTES file trips up the RAT check. I think it's safe to add it to the ignore list.
