[VOTE] Release Apache Pivot 1.1 (second try)
Incubator PMC members:
I've addressed the concerns brought up in the first vote and have
re-rolled the distribution archives with the fixes. Specifically,
here's what changed since the last vote:
* Changed the JDK 1.5 system requirement in the BUILD file to be JDK
1.6 (which includes the StAX API and JavaScript engine). This enabled
us to remove the stax*.jar and js*.jar files from the distribution and
sidestep any potential issues with including them in the future. Note
that the runtime system requirement is still JRE 1.5 -- this stricter
1.6 system requirement only applies to those who want to build Pivot
from source.
* Removed the LiveConnect "plugin.jar" from being included in the
distribution, and added a note about the need for the library in the
BUILD file. Also added a check in the build file to fail
descriptively if the developer does not have the LiveConnect library
on their classpath.
* Removed JUnit from being included in the distribution, and listed it
a system requirement in the BUILD file. Also added a check in the
build file to fail descriptively if the developer does not have JUnit
on their classpath.
* Added the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License to the LICENSE
file. Note that since we removed JUnit from the distribution, we no
longer need to add the Common Public License to the LICENSE file.
* Updated the servlet-api.jar to the one that ships with Tomcat 6.0,
and updated the NOTICE file to explicitly state that the file comes
from Apache Tomcat and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
I have re-posted the new distribution archives and the newly generated
RAT reports to the following location:
http://people.apache.org/~tvolkert/pivot/
I have also checked the archives by running the following tests:
* Unpacked all archives (zip and tar.gz, source and binaries) into
distinct folders.
* Verified the md5 and sha1 checksums of all archives
* Verified the pgp signatures of all archives
* Inspected the Javadoc included in the binary release
* Built and ran a suite of proprietary Pivot apps against the binary
JAR files from the command line (DesktopApplicationContext)
* Built the "build", "doc", "dist", and "install" targets from within
the source distribution and verified that the output was correct (by
inspection).
* Looked at the .txt RAT report to make sure that the remaining files
without a license header were acceptable.
* Made sure that my most recent changes are in the new artifacts.
With these changes, I'd like to call for another vote. Please vote by
6 PM UTC Friday, 4/17.

Looks like it is encoded in UTF-8 for some reason (the others appear to use standard ASCII). We can easily change that, if necessary.

There is a distinction between 'distribution' and 'release'.
As Larry pointed out, someone from company X (say, IBM) may do a
checkout from our SVN. That means a transfer of intellectual property
from ASF to IBM. That is distribution - no question about it.
Thus, I cannot commit a bootlegged music track into Apache SVN, as
neither I, nor the ASF, have the right to distribute it. However, I
could commit an LGPL library, as we do have the right to distribute
that. We just have a policy to not allow it to be included within a
'release' - the release being the end-product of ASF effort, and the
thing that is intended for consumption by the public.

Are you talking about trunk, or release tags/branches ?
SVN in my opinion is a place where we place code to work on collaboratively
, it's a developer resource - anything in there is subject to being broken
code-wise, documentation-wise and for short bursts may contain 3rd party
jars and items without appropriate licensing. Acceptable I think, until some
volunteer dev cleans it up.
I do not agree that anything in svn is distribution, the same as snapshots
and nightlies are not (supposed to be) advertised to joe bloggs the user,
but jane bloggs the dev being on the dev list will know where to get her
hands on it.
And now I just read the bit about sparing svn discussion for later, oops.

I'd have him clarify, as an example, if correcting an error by deleting
some resources in trunk/branches/tags would be enough, even if the
offending items are accesible from specific revisions, or else surgery
of the repository would be needed in those cases where we are doing
unlawful distribution.
But definitely in the legal* thread, not here :) Note also that unlawful
distribution is not the same as Releasing against our policies. For
instance, a LGPL artifact can be against our policies, but we are
legally entitled to distribute it, so "rewriting the past" might not
really be needed.

Personally, I give a lot of weight to what Larry said on legal-discuss.
Both SVN and releases are distribution. So, we _must_ be sure that
anything that goes into SVN we have the right to distribute.
However, we choose to apply a policy on top of this to our releases -
which is that everything we distribute within a release must be
compatible with the Apache License.
Thus, when employ X of Y Corporation checks out a project from SVN
containing an LGPL library, we have not breached anyone's copyright, so
we can do it, yet to package that project while including that LGPL
library would go against our AL compatibility policy, therefore we won't
allow it.
Of course, there is always a risk that non AL compatible stuff in SVN
could sneak into a release, so having it in SVN should be discouraged,
but it should not be banned.
This seems to me to make a lot of sense. Of course, IANAL.

Fair enough, but there are certain absolutes of difference between the
moving target called SVN and the 'distributed via mirrors' release
artifacts, that can not be discounted nor ignored.

No, I am very positive that this is not the case. Legal dilligence is
done on the release artifacts separately from SVN issues. Unlike
release artifacts, SVN are at times incomplete, incorrect and
inaccurate. "Tags" have no legal meaning whatsoever, and should not
even be part of the discussion.
So, since we are looking at a "Release", please spare the SVN
discussion for later.

The JFree project was not compatible. Some of the examples in the demos project were compatible, but it would have been a larger effort to split this into multiple projects. However, the tutorials project also contains a large number of demos, and this will remain in the ASF repository (it has no external dependencies). We will continue to maintain all three projects.

Yes, thank you. That is the correct practice. We want a tag. As sebb
said, tags are cheap.

OK.

Were they license incompatible? I'd really like to have demos at the ASF,
not just the core code. But they should be demos that the project is
willing to maintain.

Posted by Todd Volkert <tv...@gmail.com>.
Ok, per the recommendations on the legal-discuss thread and here (and
just to make sure we're fully in keeping with the spirit of ASF
policies), I've removed the offending files from the tag (and copied
the branch to the tag), which can be found at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pivot/tags/v1.1/
Note: I did NOT regenerate the release archives because there's no
need - nothing has changed from their perspective. This only related
to what was in SVN that *wasn't* part of the release artifacts. Thus,
I am not calling for a new vote -- the existing vote should proceed as
planned.
Thanks everyone for taking the time to look at this. I appreciate the
due diligence you're putting into this, because I know it takes time
to review someone else's release, and it's making the end result that
much more solid.
-T
p.s. on the trunk, we've just migrated the demos sub-project and the
JFreeChart provider off of the ASF repository for good (see
http://code.google.com/p/pivot-demos/ and
http://code.google.com/p/pivot-jfree/). We have multiple contributors
working on various demos at any given time, and I'm not confident that
relying on each of them to be a licensing expert is remotely workable,
so it's much easier just to say "Pivot is at ASF -- demo applications
for Pivot are at Google Code".

Summary:
(a) Some consider SVN to be part of your distribution, and some don't,
so there's no true resolution there
(b) Per http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html#transition-incubator,
this weighs on us less because we're an incubating project that had
these dependencies before we joined the ASF.
Bottom line:
We'll remove those dependencies from SVN altogether in the trunk (and
thus for all future releases) by migrating them to Google Code -- just
to make sure there's no ambiguity about what's ASF-compliant and
what's not. But in the meantime, based on the two points above, this
shouldn't hold up the 1.1 release.

Or dependencies of any kind, for that mater. The actual *release* is
compliant with ASF's policies. If our SVN repository is not, that
will be fixed as soon as I get an answer from legal, and I can strip
out the code from the trunk as well as the tag, but all the while, the
tarballs and zip files were compliant.

We don't have any LGPL libraries in the distribution - only in SVN, for some demos that aren't actually included in the distribution artifacts.

Disagree.
There are rules as to what 3rd party dependencies are allowed.
For example, LGPL dependencies cannot be included in distributions;
furthermore, any such dependencies must be optional. That is not
something that can be fixed later.

Actually, it occurs to me that since the distribution archives don't
have the offending code, we should be able to release 1.1 as packaged
(pending the vote), and if legal-discuss says that we need to remove
that stuff from SVN, that can be done after the fact.

As far as I know, putting a file in a publicly accessible SVN
repository is considered as distribution too.

We can remove these.

That's because the build strips out anything that we're not legally
allowed to release. From what I've read on various ASF pages, the
ASF's legal concerns are only with what's distributed in releases, not
what's in SVN.

These are all stripped out of the distribution for legal (licensing)
reasons. This applies to the classes directory you mention above.

But I would not consider this a release issue. That's something for the
project to address on technical merit.

That is a valid concern, although should not effect the release packages,
since the jar files are not present in them. The packages that would be put
out are clean as far as anyone has indiated. That said, Todd, as far as I
know, since SVN is a form of distribution, we can't have improperly licensed
third party code in SVN.
HOWEVER, while I see that you are planning to remove them, after checking
with legal-discuss@, please do it only for things that actually have
non-compatible licenses. For example
http://groovy.codehaus.org/faq.html#licence suggests that Groovy is fine. I
have not checked the others.

Again, while I agree, this does not strike me as a release issue.

OK, I've now done a comparison.
The SVN branch contains lots of .settings directories which are
Eclipse-specific; these aren't normally added to SVN as they tend to
vary between Eclipse installations. I think they should be deleted
from SVN. The .project and .classpath files may also vary, but are
less of a problem.
There are 11 jars in SVN demos/lib directory which are not in the
source or binary archives, viz. the flex, gdata and groovy jars. What
are the licenses for those? They aren't mentioned anywhere I could
find. Likewise the two jars in charts/lib.
Jars must not be stored in SVN unless the licence is suitable - see
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html
The SVN branch also contains a classes directory - these should not
normally be stored in SVN. There does not appear to be any source for
the Product.class binary file.
The following source files/folders are present in SVN but missing from
the source archive:
charts\src\META-INF
charts\src\pivot\charts\skin
demos\src\pivot\demos\amf
demos\src\pivot\demos\google

Tags are cheap, so one way round this is to create a Release Candidate Tag.
If changes are necessary, update branch and create new tag.
If all passes, the RC tag can be renamed to the release tag.

I plan to copy this to tags once the release gets approved (since
until then, we still need to make changes).

Ah - probably 'cause I had emacs set to use UTF-8. I'll change that

What's the SVN tag for the release?
It's useful to be able to compare the source archive with SVN to check
if there are any missing or extraneous files.
It's also useful to compare the tar and zip versions of the archives -
it's not unknown for these to be different (ignoring differences in
source file line endings, which may be intentional). In this case they
are OK.
One minor problem I noticed: the LICENSE file contains some odd
characters towards the end which don't display well.

We got 4 votes, all in favor, and of which 3 are binding.
Ant Elder
Sebb (non-binding)
Niclas Hedhman
Martijn Dashorst
The vote passes. I will copy the artifacts to Pivot's dist area and
update our documentation site to make the download.cgi page live after
the mirrors have picked the artifacts up.
Thanks again to all who inspected the release,

We've since removed that dependency on the trunk, but the 1.1 release
does have 1 class that will break on a non-Sun JVM (note however that
OpenJDK has the Sun classes). Bottom line, yes for 1.1, but it's
since been rectified.

Darn Windows encoding. Yeah, we have a JIRA issue created to better
use unit testing -- right now, it's 99% a TODO :) I'll fix that file
on the trunk, but since we don't run any unit tests, this warning is
benign.

The ability to display native file system icons only worked on Sun JVMs. However, we have since removed this feature. It won't be included in the next release.

Correct. Tests are currently run manually.

I've just tried a build on Win/XP, Java 1.6.0.
This reports quite a few compilation warnings, for example:
[javac] wtk\src\pivot\wtk\content\TreeViewFileRenderer.java:34:
warning: sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder
is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
[javac] import sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder;
[javac] ^
[javac] wtk\src\pivot\wtk\content\TreeViewFileRenderer.java:89:
warning: sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder
is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
[javac] ShellFolder shellFolder = null;
[javac] ^
[javac] wtk\src\pivot\wtk\content\TreeViewFileRenderer.java:91:
warning: sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder
is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release
[javac] shellFolder = ShellFolder.getShellFolder(file);
[javac] ^
[javac] 3 warnings
Does Pivot only work on Sun JVMs?
[javac] core-test\src\pivot\core\test\PropertiesSerializerTest.java:37:
warning: unmappable character for encoding Cp1252
[javac] testMap.put("i18n", "┬Ç & Î?ÎÿΣÎóή"); //
test some chars to encode ...
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 warning
Also, the build file does not seem to run any tests, it only compiles them.
