Hello Apache Airflow Community, This is a call for the vote to release Helm Chart version 1.21.0. (Small addition from me, messed up doing the entire process over the wrong branch for rc1. This made me go for rc2 with a clean start, glad I found it before spending your time:))
The release candidate is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.21.0rc2/ airflow-chart-1.21.0-source.tar.gz - is the "main source release" that comes with INSTALL instructions. airflow-1.21.0.tgz - is the binary Helm Chart release. Public keys are available at: https://www.apache.org/dist/airflow/KEYS For convenience "index.yaml" has been uploaded (though excluded from voting), so you can also run the commands below. helm repo add apache-airflow-dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airflow/helm-chart/1.21.0rc2/ helm repo update helm install airflow apache-airflow-dev/airflow airflow-1.21.0.tgz.prov - is also uploaded for verifying Chart Integrity, though not strictly required for releasing the artifact based on ASF Guidelines. $ helm gpg verify airflow-1.21.0.tgz gpg: Signature made Thu Jan 6 21:33:35 2022 MST gpg: using RSA key E1A1E984F55B8F280BD9CBA20BB7163892A2E48E gpg: Good signature from "Jed Cunningham <[email protected]>" [ultimate] plugin: Chart SHA verified. sha256:b33eac716e0416a18af89fb4fa1043fcfcf24f9f903cda3912729815213525df The documentation is available at https://airflow.staged.apache.org/helm-chart/1.21.0/. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours (2026-04-21 22:42 UTC) or until the necessary number of votes is reached. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20260424T2142&p0=136&font=cursive Please vote accordingly: [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove with the reason Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". The test procedure for PMC members is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_HELM_CHART.md#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members The test procedure for contributors and members of the community who would like to test this RC is described in: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_HELM_CHART.md#verify-the-release-candidates-by-contributors Consider this my (binding) +1. For license checks, the .rat-excludes files are included, so you can run the following to verify licenses (just update your path to rat): tar -xvf airflow-chart-1.21.0-source.tar.gz cd airflow-chart-1.21.0 java -jar apache-rat-0.18.jar chart -E .rat-excludes Please note that the version number excludes the `rcX` string, so it's now simply 1.21.0. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. The status of testing the Helm Chart by the community is kept here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/65632 Thanks, Bugra Ozturk
