I'm afraid it would be hard to gather checklist in the mail, so I suggest to collect it at https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/448 (see the very first message there) I have put "To be implemented" list there. Feel free to post new items as comments in GitHub.
Current Gradle script generates binary (runnable JMeter) and source artifacts in zip and tgz formats. When I expand apache-jmeter_src.tgz, it passes tests, and it produces apache-jmeter_src.tgz with exactly the same SHA. It would be great if someone with Windows could check if binary/source artifacts work there. The relevant Gradle commands are: ./gradlew :src:dist:build # build all 4 artifacts ./gradlew :src:dist:distZip # other tasks are distTar, distZipSource, and distTarSource The artifacts are generated into src/dist/build/distributions folder. Note: I think Gradle-based distribution generation is way simpler to maintain and reason about: https://github.com/vlsi/jmeter/blob/gradle/src/dist/build.gradle.kts Vladimir
