I have fresh news while working on the issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3695
I saw that Maven already did a better way automatically other then what we were trying to achieve with the maven-assembly-plugin By default using the Apache Maven Parent Pom (we are using it as we are an ASF project) Maven creates a "sources" zip and this package is a perfect copy of the git repository during the release process. I have addeded in the staging directory the zip file, signature and the sha512 hash (already created during the automatic release procedure) http://home.apache.org/~eolivelli/zookeeper-3.6.0-candidate-0/ If we agree on changing the format of the "source release" from tar.gz to zip then the staged rc is good for a VOTE and it is perfectly integrated with the Maven release procedure. Thoughts ?
