Hi! I have initiated a vote on tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org to publish a release of Tuscany. The vote email thread is available there: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.webservices.tuscany.devel/3259 We have read the Apache release guidelines and the incubator release policy, but this is the first time that we are doing an incubation release so I would appreciate if you could take a look at the distributions at http://people.apache.org/~jsdelfino/test-incubating-M1/<http://people.apache.org/%7Ejsdelfino/test-incubating-M1/>, give us feedback and let us know if we need to fix anything.
(non-binding) a few little nits (nothing serious, more FYI for next time): 1 there are some encoding issues down at the bottom of the LICENSE.txt. they don't effect the meaning. 2 STATUS seems like it might be a little outdated re:PENDING ISSUES. might be good to list M1 in the release status 3 MANIFEST files lack a Implementation-Vendor-Id and so are not fully complient. it's conventional to use 'org.apache'. one slightly more serious point: 4 the tuscany jar's don't contain NOTICE files. all distributed artifacts *must* contain these LICENSE and NOTICE files. if these jars don't contain these files then they cannot be released via the apache jar repository (which is mirrored to the maven repository on ibiblio). read http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html. it's traditional to include LICENSE and NOTICE files within META-INF (but that's not mandatory). http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html contains maven 1 snippets. but overall not bad :-) - robert
