So this is the email I have set up, along with the note Hello Pekko Community,
This is a call for a vote to release Apache Pekko(incubating) CONNECTORS-KAFKA version 1.0.0-RC1. The discussion thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread/4mqb0x8gvjoffr14kcfn9h8fy71srk6f The release candidate: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/pekko/CONNECTORS-KAFKA-1.0.0-RC1/ This release has been signed with a PGP key available here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/pekko/KEYS Release Notes: https://pekko.apache.org/docs/pekko-connectors-kafka/current/release-notes/index.html Git branch for the release: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko-connectors-kafka/tree/v1.0.0-RC1 Git commit ID: 0245d7a3e8dee648308bb49831ff96415851cc46 Please download, verify, and test. We have also staged jars in the Apache Nexus Repository. These were built with the same code as appears in this Source Release Candidate. We would appreciate if users could test with these too. If anyone finds any serious problems with these jars, please also notify us on this thread. https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/pekko/ In sbt, you can add this resolver. resolvers += "Apache Pekko Staging" at " https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging" === NOTE === There was an accident done when staging the artifacts for the Apache Nexus Repository. Typically the artifacts are meant to be pushed to staging however in this case an accidental full release was done. This means that while ordinarily the artifacts would be in staging, i.e. https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging they instead can be resolved on Maven Central (this shouldn't require any additional resolve configuration). Since the artifacts contain RC in the name this won't affect the eventual full binary release. === END NOTE === The VOTE will pass if we have more positive votes than negative votes and there must be a minimum of 3 approvals from Pekko PPMC members. Anyone voting in favour of the release, could you please provide a list of the checks you have done? The vote will be left open until 11:10 UTC on 29 July 2023.
