> The first version of the script was written to verify your process.
> I've slightly modified the script to improve the generated jars.  The
> new script (http://people.apache.org/~carnold/commons_repackage_v2.xml):
>
> Creates a NOTICE file if a NOTICE or NOTICE.txt is not present in the
> original source distribution (happens about 6 times).
> Creates a LICENSE file if a LICENSE or LICENSE.txt is not present in
> the original source distribution (does not happen)
> Places overview.html and *.txt except NOTICE.txt and LICENSE.txt in
> META-INF (the original scripts placed these in the root of the jar).
> Place NOTICE or NOTICE.txt in META-INF as NOTICE
> Place LICENSE or LICENSE.txt in META-INF as LICENSE
>
> If someone is sophisticated enough to examine a jar file, they are
> sophisticated enough that the benefit from the .txt extensions on
> their NOTICE and LICENSE files and the .txt extension makes them
> inconsistent with the v2 license which explicitly says the file is
> named NOTICE.
>
> I'd suggest the following:
>
> Create a bug report for the repackaging (if there isn't one already).
> Attach the script used for the repackaging to the bug report (I can do
> that to keep the source provenance clean).
> Prepare the source.jars. and upload to your builds area.
> Call a vote.  I'd suggest that you break the vote into two slates, one
> for the ASL 2 sources and one of the ASL 1.1 sources.
>
> Barring any overlooked technical consideration, I think the ASL 2
> releases should be non-controversial.  The ASL 1.1 a little more so,
> but not that much more.
>
> With that process:
>
> The generation of the sources.jar is automated, reproducible and
> verifiable.
> The artifacts are released with PMC oversight.
> All generated jars have META-INF/LICENSE and META-INF/NOTICE.
> Generated jars have the same license as the original source
> distribution.
> Generated jars have the same compliance with ASF Source Header Policy
> as the original source distribution.
