Hi Kenn, Thank you for responding.
1) The self-serve-tools are not available to PPMCs only the Mentors. See INFRA-18659 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-18659>. Specifically, if it is important or preferred practice to use JIRA ticketing for tracking bugs, then this will need to be set up for DataSketches. However, we are accustomed to using GitHub Issues for tracking bugs as well as our Google sketches-user forum for answering questions about the library. We also follow dev discussions on Druid and PostgreSQL, both of which are using our library. We already have lots of places where we are following to catch problems, so I'm not so sure we need another tracking tool, unless it is required. Perhaps it would be a good idea to set it up and then over time we can learn to use it. 2) The #2 above in this thread is pretty clear. But to fix it requires a Mentor to contact the secretary and then the secretary must change something so that the error flag does not appear. I have no idea how this is accomplished. 3) The monthly report needs to be signed off by all 3 Mentors. === I am making progress in understanding the Apache release process and have found a set of instructions from the Dubbo project that is relatively close to what we need and I think will allow me to create the scripts necessary to do a release, which I hope will be soon. I am discovering that trying to wrestle Maven into a form that will do all the steps correctly is nearly impossible. What Maven calls a "release" has nothing to do with an Apache Release... this was a big "aha" for me, so once I figured that out, things started to click :) Some bash scripts will be required anyway, so except for the Maven 'deploy' mechanism nearly everything else will need to be scripted. I am beginning to understand why Beam eventually moved to Gradle as it is sort of a mix of Ant and Maven, but a lot more low level control and much less verbose :) Cheers, On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 1:31 PM Kenneth Knowles <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been extremely busy for the last couple of weeks, but have a few > cycles now.
