Hi - I have a few questions which are minor.
(1) NOTICE has:
This product contains the Piccolo XML Parser for Java
(http://piccolo.sourceforge.net/). Copyright 2002 Yuval Oren.
Was this eliminated?
(2) In the maven ooxml-1.4 jars the LICENSE and NOTICE are missing from META-INF
I cannot figure out what builds this artifact. Please fix these and
I’ll double check.
(3) In the RELEASE-NOTES.txt
(a) Should this be POIFS?
- OPOIFS* classes removed / NPOIFS* classes renamed to OPOIFS*
(b) These prebuilt artifacts do not have a date.
- pre-built binaries containing compiled versions of all Apache POI components
and documentation
(poi-bin-4.0.0-20180907.zip or poi-bin-4.0.0-20180907.tar.gz)
- source archive you can build POI from (poi-src-4.0.0-20180907.zip or
poi-src-4.0.0-20180907.tar.gz)
Unpack the archive and use the following command to build all POI components
with Apache Ant 1.8+ and JDK 1.6 or higher:
(c) Wrong type of checksum. Should be SHA-512.
All release artifacts are accompanied by MD5 checksums and PGP
signatures
(4) Otherwise all signatures and checksums are correct.
LICENSE checks
NOTICE checks
RAT Check passes
Ant builds from source
It looks like the main build.xml was not used by the release manager due to
MD5, SHA1 being missing as the rules are changing for repository.apache.org
<http://repository.apache.org/>.
Regards,
Dave
