It is probably technically acceptable from a very strict interpretation of the release guidelines since it's a release of the incubator. I think socially and from a incubator learning process that you are shortchanging yourself. Keep in mind the IPMC wants to see that the community can function on its own, and iterating over RCs is just part of the process. > How many binding IPMC votes did you get on your dev list vote?

You need a NOTICE file, but it only need contain the notice for the ASF (in the source distribution) http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice > > For our binary distribution, we'll make another pass through our indirect > dependencies and update the NOTICE and LICENSE as needed. > > Should we roll a new RC and start a new thread after these changes? Yep, I'd roll a new RC, kick a vote off on your dev list and bring it back here when done. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
