Sigs and hashes OK. There is only a combined source/binary archive, which is not standard practise. All other projects release a source archive; almost all also release a separate binary archive. The archive does not have a DISCLAIMER file - yes, the disclaimer text is in README, but the general practise is for a separate file. The NOTICE file is incorrect. The date is 2008, and the second paragraph must be: This product includes software developed at The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). i.e. switch the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs Minor points: It would be useful to include compiler source and target versions as headers in the jar manifests (the manifests are otherwise good) The Tutorial has a typo on the first page: "Introduction to Apache-Emprie-db using the DBSample project" Also, there does not appear to be a directory called examples/DBSample The Copyright year is 2008. Maven says: [INFO] inceptionYear not specified, defaulting to 2009 There don't seem to be any tests Maven fails: [INFO] [assembly:assembly] [INFO] Reading assembly descriptor: empire-assembly-all.xml [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error reading assemblies: Error locating assembly descriptor: empire-assembly-all.xml ** It looks like the file is missing from the archive; this is why it would be helpful to have the SVN tag ** > > Where is the SVN tag for the release? > > > > We are looking forward to receiving your vote. > > Thanks, > > > > Rainer > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
