Yes, that is the normal way to do things. The source archive should basically be a copy of the SVN tag, excluding any SVN-only files. It should be possible to unpack the source archive, download any required external dependencies (the procedure to do this should be documented, e.g. in a README or BUILDING text file) and then build/test the software from the unpacked source. By the way, I don't understand why the RAT jar is in SVN; normally one would expect that to be an external dependency. > Thanks, > > Jun > > On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 5:37 PM, sebb <seb...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On 14 November 2011 19:52, Neha Narkhede <neha.narkh...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > Kafka community is excited to share that RC for release of >> > Kafka-0.7.0-incubating has been +1'd over at kafka-user@incubator. >> > Please try it out and vote for the Apache Kafka 0.7.0-incubating release. >> > This is the first release of Kafka since we've joined the Apache >> incubator. >> > >> > Vote thread >> > http://markmail.org/message/pqsla5furf7nzpe2?q=kafka+candidate+6 >> > >> > Release artifacts >> > >> http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/kafka-0.7.0-incubating-candidate-6/ >> >> -1 >> There's no source archive. >> ASF primarily releases source; binary archives are optional (but >> almost always provided). >> Source archives are required. >> >> -0 >> The binary archive is huge; this is mainly because it contains >> multiple copies of many jars. >> It would be better for users if there was a single copy of each jar, >> and an installation script to copy them after unpacking. >> >> > SVN revision >> > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/branches/0.7@1199132 >> >> The normal practice is to use an SVN tag for the release vote, for example: >> >> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/tags/0.7.0-incubating-RC1 >> >> If the vote succeeds, rename/copy it to >> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/tags/0.7.0-incubating >> >> If the vote fails, create a new tag: >> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/tags/0.7.0-incubating-RC2 >> >> -1: >> There is no DISCLAIMER >> >> The NOTICE file does not follow standards. >> The first 5 lines should look like the lines in === below: >> >> === >> Apache Kafka >> Copyright ?-2011 The Apache Software Foundation. >> >> This product includes software developed at >> The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). >> === >> >> The rest of the NOTICE file should be for *required* notices only; it >> is not required to list other Apache projects. >> >> The NOTICE file also contains a license, that should be in LICENSE. >> No mention of sbt, which is in SVN - as that is also included in the >> binary release, should that be mentioned in the NOTICE file? >> >> > PGP release keys >> > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/kafka/KEYS >> > >> > This vote is open until Thursday, Nov 17th 12 pm >> > >> > Thanks, >> > Neha >> > >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> 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
