Sorry about the prior garbled message. @Vel, @Bosco,
1. Allow me to make that change. I can add a note after “Publish binary release in Maven” in “Post Release Tasks” as at that point one has ready access to the sha1. Does that sound right? 2. I could push the tags retroactively based on the published sources in release archive<http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/ranger/>. But I can’t think of a reliable way to do that. The best I could come up with was as follows: find out the last “release candidate” tag for a release and copy that tag a “release” tag. a. For example for 0.4 the last rc tag was “ranger-0.4.0-rc3” on 02d0f71 so I’d push another tag named “ranger-0.4” for 02d0f71. b. Do we want to do that? If so, is there a more reliable way to ascertain the sha1 of what was released to the repo? Relying on “last rc tag being correct” seems reasonable but is there some hint in the released source of the sha1 that it was exported from? c. Also from some releases like 4.1 there isn’t anything in the repository. Perhaps that means it was never 4.1 was never released? I’d leave those out – treat artifacts in the archive as the source of truth for determining which releases have been made.

I assume this is by accident. Would you mind adding them? Makes it easier to find the specific commit that a release was based on. Thank you! Cheers, Lars
