+1 (non binding) I checked: - source distribution -- signature and checksum are correct -- LICENSE and NOTICE are good -- ASF header present in all expected files -- No binary/compiled file in the source distribution -- whl distributions -- signature and checksum are correct -- LICENSE --- LICENSE in whl says the Thrift/Hive code is in vendor/fb303 and vendor/hive_metastore. That's correct for the source distribution, but in whl, it's actually located directly in fb303 and hive_metastore (without vendor). So, the documentation is correct but the path is not. It would be good to fix this. --- The whl distributions bundle Cython 3.3.0 runtime code (cython_runtime, __reduce_cython_ in the so lib). I checked: Cython is Apache 2.0 license without NOTICE file. We should document Cython in our LICENSE file (in the whl distributions) -- NOTICE is good -- ASF header is present. nit: the header in pyiceberg/expressions/literals.py looks weird to me. It should probably use the same header as the other files.
It would be great to fix these minor issues in the next release (I'm happy to create the corresponding PRs :)).
