javax.activation 1.1.0 was packaged ages ago and there is no source bundle for it. I have found myself manually making a source bundle, loosing it and making it again more than once. I would like to provide it from orbit once and for all. The original CQ is CQ-260 and it is tagged with sourceandbinary. The PB CQ is no different than the other CQs so I think we are clear IP wise to package the source bundle. I volunteer to do this if I get a green light from the PMC.
The original CQ is in fact CQ-2060.
I agree, the original CQ covers 'source'. And, yes, you can take that as your PMC approval. :) And as original "committer" for javax.activation, you have my approval to add the source-bundle. (I'm sure you've noticed it is the Geronimo version, specifically). Now ... as Project Lead ... it's always something :) ... I'd question if this was an "RC level issue". I guess if you get it in by RC1 deadline (that's today, Saturday, 5/7) no one would complain ... but, I think after that, it'd start to be questionable. Not really a "bug", more an enhancement. And, as I've said in other cases, you could check into cvs anytime, but ... imagine if there was no other contributions to, say, RC2 ... then would this one thing be worth asking everyone to update their build scripts/URLs? I'm know you understand and are sensitive to these stability/rampdown issues, so I'm fine leaving final decision up to you -- but you might ask others if you have any doubts about right direction for any particular RC. Thanks,
Thanks David for the fast reply. I am doing this at the very last acceptable minute regarding the release train. I am giving it a shot now then.
Edited as an enhancement: certainly not a bug indeed. Watching the cruisecontrol dashboard and hopefully this will be marked as fixed in 90 minutes.
I believe it is fixed: The build is green and I can download it: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/committers/drops/I20110507043747/repository/plugins/javax.activation.source_1.1.0.v201105071233.jar However at the moment when I browse to http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/committers/drops/I20110507043747 I get an HTTP 500.

Kind of strange, I tried to debug this, on download and build server, everything seemed ok ... but in the course of all that I effectively "touched" the index.php file ... and then it seemed to display just fine! So ... there might still be something amiss with infrastructure (or, our "upload" scripts?) ... but, I'd say if you proof read that download page now, and if it looks ok, then I'd say you are good to go. And we'll just see if it happens again (next build) before doing more about scripts or infrastructure.
The next build did go fine (that is, its download page displayed just fine) ... we we'll write off the glitch as due to sunspots or something ... maybe some dates/time "crossed midnight" or something? Thanks so much Hughes.
