This is *NOT* a vote on releasing 1.0.2. I've gone through the directions for preparing a release and I'd like to get some feedback on the artefacts themselves. This means things like verifying the tarball signature, the sha1 and md5 checksums and whether the tarball is missing anything. To check the signatures, you can use the directions at [1]. The artefacts themselves are located at [2]. To check what's in the tarball vs what's not you can do this: $ mkdir tmp && cd tmp $ svn export http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/tags/1.0.2 $ wget http://people.apache.org/~davisp/dist/1.0.2/apache-couchdb-1.0.2.tar.gz $ tar -xvzf apache-couchdb-1.0.2.tar.gz $ diff -r apache-couchdb-1.0.2 1.0.2 I repeat, this is *NOT* a vote on the release. We're merely working on improving our bus factor. Thanks, Paul Davis [1] http://people.apache.org/~davisp/dist/ [2] http://people.apache.org/~davisp/dist/1.0.2/
