Hi Donat, Thanks for your help. Ferenc Szabo is already working on the retargeting, but it's definitely a good advice to do it in bulk to avoid spamming the lists.
We have the following action items: - retarget the tickets - fix the blockers: there is only one left which I'm aware of: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-3174. To fix that upgrading the joda-time is in progress: https://github.com/apache/flume/pull/169 - the user guide is broken (netcat udp source's table is malformed), I'm fixing it - https://github.com/apache/flume/pull/168 needs to be committed. I've seen that you've already commented on it, thank you, will reply soon. (Spoiler: a lot of effort, unfortunately) - some minor changes need to be done in the documentation (e.g. fixing the copyright dates, removing/updating the version references in the user guide). If anybody in the community feels like doing it I'd be more than happy to review & commit the changes. - once these are done I'm going to create the 1.8 branch and create the RC1 release artifact. I'll announce the branching in advance to the dev@ list.
