Hi All, I have cancelled the RC1 vote because the source tarball was missing 90% of the required source code. It seems it was the same issue what we experienced during the 1.7 release: somehow the flume-checkstyle module interferes with the assembly plugin causing that none of the modules will be included in the source package.
Back then the issue was solved by removing the flume-checkstyle module from the 1.7 release: https://github.com/apache/flume/commit/38b5b3a7ed98cedaaef2b9351518a9fe09703a05 I did some trial and error and I was able to fix this eventually by: a) changing flume-checkstyle's parent to flume-parent instead of the apache parent. This in itself breaks the build, so I had to b) set the packaging of flume-checkstyle to "pom" This fixes the packaging issues plus some other weird problems we bumped into during the release. Please have a look on my pull request and check whether Flume compiles and the packaging is ok (after running an mvn clean install check the flume-ng-dist/target/apache-flume-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT-src/apache-flume-1.9.0-SNAPSHOT-src directory, it should contain all the modules). (It worked on my machine, but I'd like to have some extra verification) https://github.com/apache/flume/pull/174 Once this is committed I'll continue working on the RC2. Thanks, Denes
