Hi Hang, thanks for driving the release
I have 2 findings (not sure if they are blockers or not however from my point of view very likely): 1. There was an issue with LicenseChecker [1] which is now fixed both in master and release-2.2 branch (however not in this RC) Also as as result there was at least one license issue with com.knuddels:jtokkit:1.1.0 in flink-model-openai module (fixed within same jira issue) 2. I noticed that RC was signed with key which is not RSA and doesn't follow signing release page from Apache [2] where it is written > All new RSA keys generated should be at least 4096 bits. Do not generate new > DSA keys. Please correct me if I'm wrong [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38711 [2] https://infra.apache.org/release-signing.html#note On Tue, Nov 25, 2025 at 9:12 AM Hang Ruan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > Please review and vote on the release candidate #1 for the version > 2.2.0, as follows: > [ ] +1, Approve the release > [ ] -1, Do not approve the release (please provide specific comments) > > The complete staging area is available for your review, which includes: > * JIRA release notes [1], > * the official Apache source release and binary convenience releases > to be deployed to dist.apache.org [2], which are signed with the key > with fingerprint BAF7F56F454D3FE7 [3], > * all artifacts to be deployed to the Maven Central Repository [4], > * source code tag "release-2.2.0-rc1" [5], > * website pull request listing the new release and adding announcement > blog post [6], > * flink pull request adding release note for users [7]. > > The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.
