Re: release votes - should there be a minimum number of days that the vote is open for?
Hi, In general you should wait a minimum of 3 days, but if there an urgent security fix then that can be ignored. 3 days gives people in different time zones or who don’t work full time on the project a chance to respond and be involved in the project. A lot of releases taken more than 3 days. Kind Regards, Justin - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Thanks Hans for the link. I knew there was a 3 day requirement, I just wasn't sure where it was documented. I looked at the general list again and I was incorrect. The votes seem to always adhere to the 3 day rule.

Hi PJ, If we look at the Release policy it states that it SHOULD remain open for at least 72 hours [1]. In case we are talking about an emergency release/patch the 72 hours rule can be ignored.

release votes - should there be a minimum number of days that the vote is open for?
Hi everyone, I'll go with the flow on this but I've noticed that some release votes specify details about some minimum number of days that the thread will be open for. Some other vote threads do not specify a time line and are liable to lead to an announcement of a result as soon as 3 votes come in. I favour having transparency on this. Not everyone is available to look at the release candidates on the day the vote starts. If the general consensus is that it's up to the person calling the vote to decide, then that's fine. The release management page expresses no opinion on this [1] Regards, PJ [1] https://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
