Michael Luckey commented on BEAM-6795:
--------------------------------------
In discussion of PR [#8026|https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/8026] it was
suggested to add some consistency validations
- check that user input matches across scripts, especially the signing key
Current script implementations do not support here.
> Improve Release Scripts
> -----------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-6795
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-6795
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build-system
> Reporter: Ahmet Altay
> Priority: Major
>
> - Scripts use sudo to install binaries. Could be improved by local
> installations, or perhaps using a container for build the release.
> - Scripts make changes to bashrc file (e.g. alias hub to git), these could be
> avoided. Even though scripts attempt make a backup file, it is easy to
> override them if the script is cancelled.
> - There are too many yes/no questions, configuration questions for
> validations. They are not set and forget requires attention. (Possible
> solutions: use command line arguments)
> - Once script fails at any step (e.g. invalid password at a step) it fails
> without giving a second chance and requires re-running from the top.
> (Posssible idea: use breadcrumbs to continue the script for its last known
> location.)
> - Signing with GPG is not friendly when used from a remote terminal. Has
> modal dialogs and does not interact well with gradle.
