+1 (non-binding) Checked all signatures and hashes. Sanity-checked contents of docs. Installed Ruby gem and tested it manually. Unpacked archives and sanity-checked.
I tried to run the unit tests in the source release, with mixed success: - py, py3, c, c++ ran through all tests successfully. - java had test failures (I tried jdk6, jdk7 and jdk8; each had different errors: jdk6 timed out in the avro-ipc tests, jdk7 had failures in avro-mapred's TestAvroMultipleOutputs, jdk8 failed in avro-thrift, see AVRO-1489) - couldn't run js tests because node_modules/grunt/bin/grunt doesn't exist (looks like the current version of grunt has a different file structure) - couldn't build csharp and perl because I don't have the relevant tooling installed, and can't figure out how to install it - ruby tests passed in 1.8.7 and 1.9.3; failed in 2.0 due to known issue AVRO-1516 - php had two failing tests in FloatIntEncodingTest I blame those issues on my machine setup, so if the tests pass for other people, they shouldn't hold up the release. I can file issues for them if that would be helpful. In future hopefully https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1537 will make this better :) Martin On 18 Jul 2014, at 21:40, Doug Cutting <[email protected]> wrote: > I have created a candidate build for Avro release 1.7.7. > > Changes are listed at: > > http://s.apache.org/avro177 > > Please download the sources, check them, and vote. > > http://people.apache.org/~cutting/avro-1.7.7-rc0/ > > The Maven staging repository is at: > > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheavro-1001/ > > Thanks in advance for voting! > > Doug
