All, First, a huge thanks to everyone that worked on the build issues recently! Edison, Wido, Hugo, others... I don't mean to ignore any contribution here!
Edison got the build process working on http://jenkins.cloudstack.org/ for the binary distributions. I copied his original job, and created build-cloudstack-4.0-rhel6.3 and build-cloudstack-4.0-ubuntu12.04. These jobs are set to run manually right now. Although we certainly are not ready to call this an official release, I've posted our first signed sample build to http://people.apache.org/~chipchilders/cloudstack/4.0/ I would suggest that we use these copies as the current *for test* release candidate, since we're also hoping to be testing the overall build and release process along with the code itself. REMINDER: This is not an official project release. The process I used was: 1 - Run the two binary build jobs on jenkins, and download the produced tarballs 2 - Rename the files to apache-cloudstack-4.0.0.RC1-incubating-ubuntu12.04.tar.gz and apache-cloudstack-4.0.0.RC1-incubating-rhel6.3.tar.gz respectively (to fit our naming convention) 3 - Ran tools/build/build_asf.sh -v 4.0.0.RC1 -b 4.0 4 - Copy the previously downloaded artifacts from jenkins to by build target folder (for me, it's ~/cs-asf-build) 5 - Generate the asc, md5 and sha files for the two binary artifacts 6 - scp'ed all of the files to my p.a.o public_html folder Honestly, the longest part of the process is waiting for the scp to p.a.o to complete (second longest is waiting for the jenkins jobs to complete). However, I can go through this process on a schedule if we want to. What days and times would everyone like to see the full process get run through? -chip
