Ok, I think I will keep the current binaries.

Content of Thumbs.db files (was RE: [VOTE] Release build 6.0.16)

Posted by Christophe Pierret <cp...@sparus-software.com>.
I think that it is safe to ship the thumbs.db inside the archives.
Thumbs.db is the image thumbnail database generated by Windows Explorer when you display images in Explorer.
So it will only deliver information about the images in the directory where it sits.
You can use http://www.dmthumbs.com/ to have a look inside the file to verify it ...

Best regards,
Christophe

I would agree with keeping the files we used for testing. No need for 
repackaging, because the issue is so small and there's always a little 
risk in repackaging. So I would suggest to simply proceed with the files 
we tested (and maybe have a short look at the contents of the Thumbs.db, 
so we know we don't deliver something compromising ... :) )

I'd say we take the release discussion away from the release, just 
release it with the file, as is, and in the next release, we take the 
file out.
if we wanna debate ASF ways, lets do that, but not hinder this release.

This IMO is a distortion of ASF policy - which I believe is that
"every release needs the source - the binaries are a nice convenience"
- but you've extrapolated that into something different. If those
"convenience binaries" are provided as part of an official release
then they do need PMC approval:

As far as our voting goes, the only thing that matters is the source 
release. We are free to re-package the binaries as much, or as little, as 
we wish providing we don't modify the build script since that would be 
modifying the source.

Personally, I would repackage it but I am not that bothered about it. I am 
happy which ever way Remy chooses to go on this.

I would agree with keeping the files we used for testing. No need for 
repackaging, because the issue is so small and there's always a little 
risk in repackaging. So I would suggest to simply proceed with the files 
we tested (and maybe have a short look at the contents of the Thumbs.db, 
so we know we don't deliver something compromising ... :) )

Rainer

no need, I'd just release the darn thing. the file doesn't contain 
anything except for a thumb cache of the host manager files. no one cares

That's caused by me building on Windows [XP] for the Windows installer. 
I can redo the binaries before putting them in the wild, but obviously 
it shouldn't be a huge issue.

One small note: there is a new Thumbs.db file in 
server/webapps/host-manager/images which doesn't come from svn and 
wasn't there in 6.0.14. I guess it was auto-generated by some of those 
smart service on the build system and we don't really want it in future 
releases.

I haven't got the signature test to pass, but I haven't invested too 
much time in it, since its not functionality

It is amazing what adding
-Dorg.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE=true
can do ;)

The tests all pass bar the signature one that I can't get the class to 
compile for. Any hints or tips appreciated.

I don't have any heavy usage of 6.0.x at the moment but I couldn't break 
anything just poking around with the app I do have running at home.

I currently see a small number TCK failures. As this is the first time I 
have run the TCK it may well be my configuration that is wrong. I am 
looking into the errors at the moment.

Out of curiosity, has anyone got the signature tests working? I seem to be 
missing some required classes.
