Hi folks, As you may see I'm working on the 1.2.1 release right now.
Basically what I did is to merge the master branch into branch-1.2 and have branch-1.2 and release-1.2.1-RC0 tag pushed. Then, I follow the release guide[1] to walk down the path. However, I'm currently stuck at: mvn deploy -Prelease -f bigtop-test-framework/pom.xml ... Tests run: 11, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 23.153 sec Running org.apache.bigtop.itest.posix.AlternativeTest Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.411 sec <<< FAILURE!

I've tried to build on ubuntu-16.04, debian-8, and centos-7. ubuntu-16.04 and debian-8 are the same(2 failures), but I got even more failed tests on centos-7. To attach more info, here's how I prepare my env: $ docker run -ti --rm -v $PWD:/tmp bigtop/slaves:trunk-ubuntu-16.04 bash -l $ cp -r /tmp/.gnupg ~/ $ cd $(BIGTOP_REPO) $ mvn deploy -Prelease -f bigtop-test-framework/pom.xml I guess Cos and Roman who has done the release can give me more hints?
