Hi!
as was pointed out by the ASF board lately we haven't
had a release in quite some time. They are right -- release
early and release often is the only way to go. So, I'd like
to volunteer to be a co-{release manager} with Cos and
push 1.2 out ASAP.
Looking at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-2282
makes me think that we're 90% done with formalizing
the BOM. The only two things outstanding are:
Bump Ignite to 1.8
Bump Groovy version to 2.4.7
With Groovy I can take care of it myself. But with Ignite
I either need somebody to help, or given how long it is
outstanding, may be we can just leave it be. Please chime
in if you'd like to volunteer.
Looking at:
https://ci.bigtop.apache.org/view/Packages/job/Bigtop-trunk-packages/
makes me think that the biggest obstacle there is ARM64
which we should fix pretty soon. The rest looks reasonable.
With all of that in mind, I'd like to shoot for the first RC made
available over the next weekend.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Roman.
