That sounds like a good idea; users have been asking for binaries for a long time. I suppose we'd have to make a binary release for each version of Hadoop we're targeting? (i.e. Hadoop 1.1.1, Hadoop 2.3.0, Hadoop 0.23.5).
By the way, the 4.0.1 release is ready to go, I'm just waiting on the mirrors to pick up the new bits. I've also updated https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOZIE/How+To+Release for git and added steps for signing the release tag in git (we sign the source release already, and this will ensure that we can verify that nobody messed with where that release came from). I'm going to be fairly busy for a while, so I don't think I have the time to figure out and do the binary releases/publish to maven. Perhaps someone else can take this up? Also, whoever does this should create a cwiki page to document the process. -Robert On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 11:31 AM, Alejandro Abdelnur <tuc...@gmail.com>wrote: > and we should get oozie jars in the maven repo > > thx > > Alejandro > (phone typing) > > > On Mar 31, 2014, at 11:23, Mohammad Islam <misla...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > > Hi Robert, > > Thanks for the running the process! > > > > Since we just voted for Oozie 4.0.1 source release, we can plan for the > binary release in a separate process. > > Although ,I believe, Apache primarily needs the source release, but > most of the hadoop stack is also releasing the binary package.
