It appears that we reached consensus regarding proceeding with a release. I would like to get our first release out over the next couple of weeks.
Many of our committers are out on vacation/at conferences next week. We can go ahead and prepare everything for release and vote accordingly, realizing that we may need to wait until folks return to complete the vote. According to the documentation below, we need three +1 votes from PPMC members for the release in order to elevate it to the IPMC for voting. First, we need to decide which open JIRA issues we would like to have resolved (if any) before making the release. I propose that we complete PIRK-29 (user notification of decrypting with wrong Querier) and PIRK-13 (integrate jackson); we may want to also take a step towards addressing PIRK-14 (user examples). Thoughts? Once we decide on which JIRAs need to be resolved and resolve them, I will create a candidate release branch for voting purposes. (Mentors - please let me know if I'm doing the wrong thing or the right thing in the wrong order here) For ease of reference, here is the official release information that I was able to find (we can move this to the Pirk website too): - Apache Release Guide: http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing - Apache Release Policy: http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html - Apache Incubator Release Guidelines: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html - Apache Incubator Release Policy: http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/Incubation_Policy.html#Releases - For Maven Release: http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html I propose that we follow the Incubator Release Guidelines with some help from the Accumulo (https://accumulo.apache.org/releasing) and NiFi ( https://nifi.apache.org/release-guide.html) release guides. Between these webpages, there's lots of great information. A few questions: - We need to publish our release to http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/pirk -- however, we do not yet have a Pirk folder. Do we need to request the 'pirk' folder from INFRA or can we just create it? - We have not received our official sign off from the trademark folks for the Pirk name - is this necessary before making our first release? One general TODO: - In order to publish our release artifact to Maven, we need to have Pirk setup in the Nexus Repository - a ticket to INFRA is required -- http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html#signing-up Thanks!
