Hi, > I prefer the second option. This is how we tested previous releases. Not everyone tests it that way. It's certainly easier to do it that way if you don't have a complication environment set up, and it's certainly easier for non PMC members to test it that way.
The official vote is on the source (Apache only votes on the release of source code, the binaries are just there for convenience). Any binding vote really need to be done by compiling the source and checking and testing that. Thanks, Justin
