[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-34) Release VOTE and svn tag, source
package, binary package
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-34?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12624361#action_12624361 ]
Oleg Kalnichevski commented on LEGAL-34:
----------------------------------------
There is also a variation on the release process B (which seems quite common):
A format vote is held on releasing src and bin distributions. Maven artifacts are considered byproducts that do not require to be voted on as long as they are identical to those contained in the src / bin distributions.

> I saw various practices in the ASF about the release vote.
> A. Some PMC vote svn tags and then a release is made and then the src and binary packages generated are not voted before publishing.
> B. Some PMC vote on a source package created from the svn tag and then any other binary package created from that source is published without a vote.
> C. Some PMC vote all of the published content.
> Is there any ASF policy we should be aware before each PMC can decide how to deal with release vote?
> Here is what I found in ASF pages.

> The Apache Software Foundation produces open source software. All releases are in the form of the source materials needed to make changes to the software being released. In some cases, binary/bytecode packages are also produced as a convenience to users that might not have the appropriate tools to build a compiled version of the source. In all such cases, the binary/bytecode package must have the same version number as the source release and may only add binary/bytecode files that are the result of compiling that version of the source code release.

> Sub-issue: is it ok for a project to publish on www.apache.org/dist an installer created by one contributor based on the released sources and using a commercial installer tool ? Does this require a VOTE ?
