Release of Apache JDO beta/snapshot ?
|

| I asked this question back in April and got a response that it wasn't possible
while in this Incubator or something. Since we have users asking for this,
and since we have to coordinate JPOX releases to match it, I'll ask again ...
Can we please have the Apache JDO jar released somewhere so that people can
download it ? By all means mark it with a date, or SNAPSHOT, or
USE_THIS_AT_YOUR_OWN_RISK, but please release it somewhere.
Any Apache person prepared to venture an estimate when this can be done ? It's
been an Action Item on the minutes of the TCK minutes since May.

Yep. The deliverable of the API20 project is a "jdo2.jar", so if they can just
get that from a URL then it would really help the visibility of Apache JDO.
Whether the URL is on a Wiki, or on IBiblio, it's not really that important
at this stage. Best would be to have a link from your
http://incubator.apache.org/jdo front page possibly ?

It is possible to do releases from the Incubator but it needs to be very
clear to users that this is not an offical release by the ASF and to the
Incubator PMC that this something needed to help build the community of
the podling.
To that end, sticking something on a wiki or some external site is
likely to be very *unhelpful.* Better to follow normal ASF procedure for
cutting a release, then when you have the final distribution ready
contact the IPMC (via general@incubator) to get final approval to
release it.
For general release process see http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html

| Releases from the incubator are fine. The release needs to say "in
incubation" somehow, and the Incubator PPMC has the final say on it
(release is technically by the incubator PPMC).
Process to do so (I think):
1) Release manager (RM) tags said release candidate
2) RM builds binaries, signs em, and makes them available to the
incubator PPMC. This is *not* a release and should not be publicized
as such.
3) Start vote for release on incubator list.

nb: I personally feel that putting binaries together rather than
voting to release based on the tag is not a good approach, but "you
vote on binaries" has been established somewhere in the past for the
incubator, I am pretty sure.
