Check all links in the `[VOTE]` email for the release: + * Tag on the GitHub website + * Commit on the GitHub website + * SVN repository with the source tarball and binary release artifacts + * SVN repository with the Helm chart + * Link to the KEYS file (_MUST_ be equal to `https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/polaris/KEYS`) + * Maven staging repository +* `DISCLAIMER`, `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files are correct for the repository. +* Contents of jar artifacts `META-INF/LICENSE` and `META-INF/NOTICE` files are correct. +* All files have license headers if necessary. Review Comment: BTW: The script can keep the (temporary) directory, which contains all the downloaded and locally built artifacts. Tests can be run from there. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
