Thanks Matei, I'll try and give it a look. My recommendation is that we start to use the Incubator release doc/guide:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html Note that there is a new method for publishing release candidates and releases that uses SVNpubsub: http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#upload-ci We should probably start using that. It will require a little back and forth with infra but will be worth it in the end. If no one files the issue by this evening Eastern time, I'll file it. Alternatively, at the least, the release candidate should be housed on Apache servers, e.g., in your p.a.o/public_html/ directory, along with *.md5 *.asc and *.sha files, and perhaps a CHANGES.txt/change log. Also (and this is all in the guide above) your release signing key should be uploaded to id.apache.org and then it will appear here: http://people.apache.org/keys/group/spark.asc HTH and happy to help out as needed.
