+1 to the list Andy put out. That's pretty much the same set of steps I work through when I validate a given release.
With respect to the point raised by Abe, he and Andy and I spent some time talking about this elsewhere. The source tarball is correct; it includes source for everything. Abe did point out that the distribution tarball in SVN doesn't have dependent JARs for all subprojects. This is something we can fix, but it's also probably a good start to a conversation about what role we want the distribution tarball to play and whether we need it at all anymore. Further discussion is _definitely_ required there, but the upshot is that no changes are required for this release; we can move forward with the artifacts Andy has already uploaded. Which in turn reminds me that _I_ need to validate this guy and give a +1... on to that now! - Bret - On Thu, Oct 16, 2025 at 9:42 AM Tolbert, Andy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Abe, > > Good catch!
