Still, if there is any demand for it then I agree we should do it. However we go in the future, this would be a good thing to include in our Test Snapshot process, so I've added src distribution files for this release. They are listed on the release page here: http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/wAE For convenience I'll including the URLs below as well. Thanks again to everyone for reviewing this and for help in moving OFBiz through the incubation process. -David http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.tgz http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.tgz.asc http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.tgz.md5 http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.zip http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.zip.asc http://people.apache.org/~jonesde/apache-ofbiz-incubating- src-4.0.0.TS5.zip.md5 On Nov 4, 2006, at 5:20 AM, robert burrell donkin wrote: > On 11/2/06, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: >> Hi all, > > hi Jacopo > >> based on past comments in this list I'd like to add that this is a >> pre-built release (e.g. the objects and Derby demo database are >> already >> set up and packaged in the distribution); we did this because it can >> take up to 20 minutes (with slower hardware) to build the whole >> project >> from scratch and this could waste too much of your (and that of the >> persons that just want to give a look at it) time. > > i think some confusion has arisen over the terms we use. > > in apache terms, a source distribution is a plain export from the > source repository whereas a binary distribution is anything else. lots > of projects here ship binary releases with source in: just because a > release contains some source it doesn't make it a source distribution > > binary distributions are mainly for the convenience of users. > > source distributions target other audiences including (potential) > developers, downstream packagers and archivists. they are quick and > easy to create (all the release manager needs to do is export the tag > and compress) so it's recommended that source distributions are > produced for each release as well as any binaries. > >> However, if you want to play with a clean source distribution (for >> example, if you want to run the RAT tool etc...), just run the >> "clean-all" ant script: all the objects and the db will be removed. > > run RAT against binary and source distributions of a release but not > very many binary checks have been automated yet. > > - robert > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
