I was attempting to make Avatica 1.16.0-rc0 available for voting, but
ran into a few show stopper bugs.
Vladimir would probably be the best person to fix this as he did most of
the migration to Gralde.
A few things I noticed:
- I am using -Pasf.git.pushRepositoryProvider=GITBOX to push the tag via
Gitbox in the docker.sh script. This is so that we only ask the user for
his ASF credentials and it can push the tag to git, upload to nexus and
so on. I noticed that the tag was being pushed to the calcite repository
and not the avatica repository. The link in the email links to the
calcite repo on gitbox as well.
- There are some links in the vote email to the calcite-site-preview
repository, but it doesn't seem to exist.
Other than those issues, I am a big fan of the automation and a lot of
manual steps have been removed from the release process, which is a
great improvement.
Attached below is the generated vote email:
