+1 (non-binding) I verified the following on Linux x86_64:
- Verified the SHA-512 checksum (matches the vote email and dist) and the GPG signature against the Arrow KEYS - Confirmed the source tarball matches tag apache-arrow-26.0.1-rc1 (commit 9e5d6978e9acf372cc989aaaf94e863fe8582c90), and reproduced the tarball byte for byte with utils-create-release-tarball.sh - Checked LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt and license headers with Apache RAT using the project's exclusions - Built the C++ library (GCC 13.3) with compute, CSV, JSON, filesystem, dataset/Acero and Parquet with encryption enabled; all 95 C++ unit test executables passed Thanks for running the release!
