 Replying to [ticket:13088 iwakeh]:
 > As with the Onionoo protocol the application itself needs versioning,
 too.

 Agreed.  Let's start a ChangeLog file, define the current version as
 0.0.1, and add a Git tag for it.  Guess I should sign the tarball and
 maybe also the Git tag.  Anything else?

 Like:

 {{{
 -      <include name="gson.jar"/>
 +      <include name="gson-2.2.3.jar"/>
 }}}

 If yes, sure, fine by me.  If not, what do you mean?

 > What about releases?

 Sure, I just asked internally where we should make release files
 available.  Once we have a location, we should create an Ant task to put
 all files belonging to a release into a tarball.

 What about the metrics-lib jar?  Should that be included with the Onionoo
 release?

 Agreed.

 > For development a release of metrics-lib would be useful, too.

 Not sure if I agree about this one.  Developers should know how to handle
 Git submodule, and if not, we should include a paragraph on that in the
 yet-to-be-written documentation.  But this is related to whether we're
 shipping the metrics-lib jar with the Onionoo release or not.
