+1 My first attempt at building from the source failed with
[ERROR] SyslogAppenderCustomLayoutTest>SyslogAppenderTest.testUDPAppender:80->SyslogAppenderTestBase.sendAndCheckLegacyBsdMessage:75->SyslogAppenderTestBase.checkTheNumberOfSentAndReceivedMessages:113 The number of received messages should be equal with the number of sent messages expected:<1> but was:<0> My second attempt failed with [ERROR] Failures: [ERROR] SystemClockTest.testAfterWaitStillLessThan2Millis:43 diff too large: 12 ==> expected: <true> but was: <false> On the third try the build succeeded. On the positive side, log4j-core-tests only takes a little over 4 minutes now on my new MacBook Pro and the entire build completed in 13 minutes. MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 Chip Apple M2 Max Memory. 96GB MacOS. Ventura 13.6 I also ran the build on my Intel MacBool Pro, which is where many of the previous releases were performed. It successfully completed in 15 minutes. Verified the sha512 and the signatures of the bin and src archives. The staged web site looks OK to me. Note: I deleted the log4j-perf folder from the staging repo as it should not be deployed to Maven Central.
