Hi Daniel, I appreciate your input and guidance. I'd definitely missed the released artifacts and provenance angle here.
So would the right direction here be to include the Kafka Connect artifact as part of the gradle release command? Then once the release has passed, the artifact on maven can be submitted to Confluent Hub directly by the release manager. If this sounds right I'm happy to put together a PR for it. thanks, Robin On Thu, 29 Jan 2026 at 22:23, Daniel Weeks <[email protected]> wrote: > I added some comments to this effect in the PR, but it's probably good to > highlight this here. > > I don't think we should be generating new artifacts to upload to > connect/hub, but rather referencing the voted and released artifacts that > are part of the release process. > > It might be good to include the instructions on how this fits into the > release process <https://iceberg.apache.org/how-to-release/> so we > understand the full workflow along with the script. > > -Dan > > On Thu, Jan 29, 2026 at 6:24 AM Robin Moffatt via dev < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Could I ask for input on this please, or a review of the PR[1]? >> >> thanks, Robin. >> >> [1] https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/15113 >> >> On Thu, 22 Jan 2026 at 17:20, Robin Moffatt <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> Currently, the version of the Iceberg connector for Kafka Connect >>> on Confluent Hub is outdated (1.9.2).
