[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Burr 0.41.0-incubating
[ ] +0 No opinion
*[X] -1 Do not release this package because... *
*Missing headers in source (excluding files that we cannot put a header
in):*
grep -rL "Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation" .
--exclude-dir={.git,.idea,node_modules,__pycache__,venv,target,build,py.typed}
1. burr/tracking/server/s3/deployment/terraform/.terraform.lock.hcl
2. The examples in source don't have headers:
./examples/deep-researcher/requirements.txt
./examples/deep-researcher/notebook.ipynb
./examples/streaming-fastapi/notebook.ipynb
./examples/multi-modal-chatbot/requirements.txt
./examples/multi-modal-chatbot/notebook.ipynb
./examples/multi-modal-chatbot/burr_demo.ipynb
./examples/email-assistant/requirements.txt
./examples/email-assistant/notebook.ipynb
3. .files in source
./.pre-commit-config.yaml
./.style.yapf
./setup.cfg
4. Telemetry Files
./telemetry/ui/.prettierignore
./telemetry/ui/public/robots.txt
./telemetry/ui/.eslintignore
*Convenience package issues:*
*1. *missing NOTICE & LICENSE
2. missing examples required for UI demos to function (ModuleNotFoundError:
No module named 'burr.examples')
Checklist for reference:
[x] Download links are valid.
[x] Checksums and signatures.
[x] LICENSE/NOTICE files exist in source
[-] LICENSE/NOTICE files exist in convenience whl <---- this is missing
[x] No unexpected binary files in source
[x] No unexpected binary files in convenience whl
[-] All source files have ASF headers in source
[x] Can compile from source
[x] build script recreates convenience package that was uploaded (see note
below on SHAs being different)
What I did to validate the source:
1. Downloaded release and checked keys
2. Created python virtual environment and did *`pip install -e
".[start]" (need to update instructions)*
3. Ran `burr` to start the UI and checked the demo data
4. Because I have an OPENAI_API_KEY I was able to run the email
assistant example from the UI and validate the UI works.
5. Otherwise I went to the examples/hello-world-counter
<https://github.com/apache/burr/blob/main/examples/hello-world-counter/application.py>
to verify that vanilla Burr runs
6. I compared the convenience whls created -- the file contents are
identical (I pip installed *wheeldiff* and manually did *diff)*, but due
to timestamps, the SHAs are different --* something to note in the notes*
7. I created a new environment for the convenience package and installed
that via pip install "NAME.whl[start]" and then found the server did not
start.
Cheers,
Stefan
