Hi all, especially Laszlo, Aside from the concerns in the IPMC vote, i.e.,
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/05fc02a028d3ae7ad5f474049dacd512d89deaba64e90cf70eaf3124@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E -- new releases MUST be accompanied by a SHA-256 and/or SHA-512 checksum file -- new releases SHOULD NOT be accompanied by MD5 or SHA-1 checksum file ; -- "new" == after 18 Aug 2018 ...we also need to change the name of the file providing the sources and ZIP, so that 'vc3' is not included. Right now, 'vc3' is in the name of the file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-10.0-vc3/ ...but for 9.0, you can see that no 'vc' is included there, it is simply '9.0', e.g.,: https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans-java/incubating-9.0/incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-source.zip This file will have the same hash as the current vc3 ZIP, the content is the same, i.e., it's not a new release (requiring a new vote etc) just stripping 'vc3' from the file name should be no problem -- we did similar things before. Also note that we're not able to (we should not) announce the release until Jirka Kovalsky has updated the redirection on the Apache NetBeans VM to point the update center URL to the correct destination -- it took several days last time before this could be done because the mirrors needed to be synchronized first. Thanks, Gj
