This is our first voting candidate for the release of Apache NetBeans 25. Please follow the voting template at the bottom of this email, and note all requirements below for validating sources and convenience binaries before voting.
Apache NetBeans 25 constitutes all clusters in the Apache NetBeans Git repository, which together provide the NetBeans Platform (i.e., the underlying application framework), as well as all the modules that provide the Java SE, Java EE, PHP, JavaScript and Groovy features of Apache NetBeans. ------------------------ Build artefacts are available here : https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/25/ They were built by the Jenkins pipeline : https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/release250/5/ ------------------------ We are primarily voting on : https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/25/netbeans-25-source.zip SHA512 : 45ca26e46d012439b51857ecd407c3dde40d15184e308ec9b080cf8f24c160871a66cc87b8d29cdc87356b60efde861fc39a65614a0976beec7542949055d9da KEYS file : https://downloads.apache.org/netbeans/KEYS ------------------------ Associated with the primary source item we have, generated with the pipeline mentioned above : -- at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans/25/ Binaries associated with the source - netbeans-25-bin.zip as well as update content under the nbms folder. -- at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-installers/25/ A PKG installer for macOS built and signed with NBPackage on a PMC member's macOS machine. An EXE installer for Windows signed by a PMC member using binaries created during the build process. DEB and RPM packages for Linux signed by a PMC member using binaries created with NBPackage during the build process. -- at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/netbeans/netbeans-vscode-ext/25.0.0/ The VSCode extension signed by a PMC member using binaries created during the build process. ------------------------ Maven Artefacts The Maven artefacts for Apache NetBeans 25 are staged at : https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachenetbeans-1150/ The version is : RELEASE250 ------------------------ Voting requirements Before voting +1 you are required to download the signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the resulting executable on your own platform, along with also verifying that the package meets the requirements of the ASF policy on releases - https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#management In particular, you should (at least) follow these steps. 1. Download the artefact to be voted on and unzip it. 2. Check that the artefact does not contain any jar files (there are branding folders with the name *.jar). 3. Verify the cryptographic signatures, the NOTICE and LICENSE file 4. Build it using the README provided by the artefact. 5. Look in nbbuild/netbeans for the NetBeans installation created by the build process and try running it. In addition to checking the sources, you may check the associated convenience binary zip, installers, nbms and maven staging at the links above. You are not expected to check every convenience binary. As well as checking any artefact functions correctly, you should check that it has been correctly signed by a PMC member, and that the source being voted on is sufficient to build the relevant binary. This vote is going to be open at least 72 hours, vote with +1, 0, and -1 as usual. (Please justify -1) Please mark your vote as binding only if you're an Apache NetBeans PMC member to help with voting admin. Only respond if you are going to vote - this is NOT a discussion thread. Apache NetBeans 25 will be released if and when this vote passes. ----------------------- Voting template Please copy and paste the answer form below into your email.
