The "Release_Procedure" page has been changed by NoahSlater: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_Procedure?action=diff&rev1=123&rev2=124 A vote can only pass if there are at least three +1 votes. These votes can come from anyone, including non-committers, and in fact, everyone is encouraged to partake in and vote on each release. However, it is preferable that at least three +1 votes come from the committers, or better yet, the PMC. Once three +1 votes have been counted, the vote can pass. However, if anyone votes -1 or expresses any serious concern, that should be addressed. Usually, this will be cause to abort the vote. A vote can only be closed after three working days. This allows most people a chance to test and vote on the release. + = Preparing the Binary packages = + + At this point in the process, you should reach out to the following people: + + * Dave Cottlehuber <[email protected]> (Windows) + * Hans J Schroeder <[email protected]> (Mac OS X) + + Ideally, both people would have been involved in the vote thread. + + Either way, ask them both to prepare binary packages for the release artefacts. + + If these are done in time, they can be mentioned in the release announcement. + = Preparing the Release Notes = Go through the `NEWS` file and expand each bullet point as appropriate.
