Hi Hadoop Devs, As you know, we're pushing 2.8.0 releases recently, there're couple of issues that block creating release artifacts from source code.
I tried following approaches: 1) Run build through Hadoop Jenkins Job: https://builds.apache.org/job/HADOOP2_Release_Artifacts_Builder/ 2) Run dev-support/create-release.sh There're at most two issues cause the problem from what I can see: 1) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12022 removed releasenotes.html 2) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11792 removed all CHANGES.txt I have tried to revert HADOOP-12022/HADOOP-11792 locally in branch-2.8, create-releases.sh can run through and generate docs/artifacts correctly (at least layout looks correctly, I haven't verified generated bits). To make sure releases are not blocked, we have a couple of options: a. Fix HADOOP-12892 and related issues, which requires to backport a couple of commits which marked to be incompatible. b. Revert both of the commits, and manual fix CHANGES.txt. Any helps/suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Wangda
