Steve requested a git hash for this release. This led us into a brief discussion of our use of git tags, wherein we realized that although release tags are immutable (start with "rel/"), RC tags are not. This is based on the HowToRelease instructions.
I asked in infra.chat about this, and filed a JIRA per their request. I'll update the tags and release instructions once we have guidance. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-12552 For now though, here's the tag I pushed (email is immutable): object a990d2ebcd6de5d7dc2d3684930759b0f0ea4dc3 type commit tag release-3.0.0-alpha1-RC0 tagger Andrew Wang <w...@apache.org> 1472541776 -0700 Release candidate - 3.0.0-alpha1-RC0 gpg: Signature made Tue 30 Aug 2016 12:22:56 AM PDT using RSA key ID 7501105C gpg: Good signature from "Andrew Wang (CODE SIGNING KEY) < andrew.w...@cloudera.com>" gpg: aka "Andrew Wang (CODE SIGNING KEY) <w...@apache.org>" On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 8:51 AM, Andrew Wang <andrew.w...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Thanks to the combined work of many, many contributors, here's an RC0 for > 3.0.0-alpha1: > > http://home.apache.org/~wang/3.0.0-alpha1-RC0/ > > alpha1 is the first in a series of planned alpha releases leading up to > GA.
