[VOTE] log4cxx-0.10.0 RC8

[Curt Arnold <ca...@apache.org>]

src/test/cpp/logunit.cpp in RC7 (and in all previous 0.10.0 RC's) is  
missing an "#include <locale.h>" that will cause a "make check" to  
fail to compile with Sun Studio 11, but does not apparently affect the  
other platforms.  I do not see that defect sufficient to recall RC7,  
however I've prepared an RC8 with just that fix to consider as an  
alternative to RC7.  Given personal time constraints, I do not have  
the option of extending the voting window to allow the normal 72 hours  
on RC8 and am setting the end time on the RC8 vote to coincide with  
the RC7 vote, which results in a voting window of approximately 57  
hours for RC8.

Unless the candidate is withdrawn, voting should be open until 08:20  
GMT 2008-04-03.  All discussion should occur on log4cxx-dev@logging.apache.org 
.

You may vote for releasing both RC7 and RC8.  If both votes pass, RC8  
will be released as Apache log4cxx 0.10.0.  If only RC7 passes, then  
RC7 will be released as Apache log4cxx 0.10.0.  If neither vote  
reaches quorum, the next time I will be able to prepare a release  
candidate will be mid-April.

------------


log4cxx 0.10.0 RC8 is now available for review for release on the  
unofficial builds area.  This release candidate is strictly provided  
for consideration for release, may be withdrawn and will be removed  
from the publication location at the conclusion of the voting period.   
RC8 is currently available at:

My review is based on RC8, I never got a chance to look at RC7.

such is life).

One typo/copy/paste error I found in the site, which was present in  
the previous release too visible from logging.apache.org/ is in the  
Mailing List area.  The -dev list for the gmain archives points to the  
log4j-dev instead.

Since I'm not a C or C++ developer and limited to Hello World (been  
too long in Java now) I can't comment on the quality per-se.  The dev  
mailing list archives are not showing any community, non-binding votes  
either way as yet, but procedurally I vote +1 subject to community  
happiness with the binaries themselves.

cheers,

Paul
