Release source package

[Deron Eriksson <de...@gmail.com>]

I have a question (mostly for Luciano).

I'm examining the release candidate files to try to verify that our
candidate files are compliant with the Apache release management policy (
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html).

I see under the Release Check List (
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#check-list), the
following:

"3.6 Release consists of source code only, no binaries.
Each Apache release must contain a source package. This package may not
contain compiled components (such as "jar" files) because compiled
components are not open source, even if they were built from open source."

Is this referring to -sources.jar or -src.tar.gz/-src.zip?
In system-ml-0.9.0-incubating-src.tar.gz, there
is src/test/config/hadoop_bin_windows/bin/winutils.exe. Does this need to
be removed? Or is the "source package" referring to the -sources.jar? Since
it says each release must contain a source package, and -sources.jar is a
source package, I assume we are fine. Is that correct?

-src.tar.gz or -src.zip mostly

Most likely, I really would like to get us out of having this in our git
repository, particularly because of the issues mentioned above, but also
because it makes us stick to one given Hadoop build.

This should be ok...
