Hi all,

I would like to call a VOTE to release Apache Cloudberry (Incubating)
2.0.0-rc2 — the first official Apache release since the project entered
incubation.

While the community has produced releases prior to joining the Apache
Software Foundation, this is our first release under the ASF's governance,
following the official Apache release process and incorporating all
relevant legal, licensing, and distribution requirements.

---

Key changes since 2.0.0-incubating-rc1:
- Set Maven pom.xml project version to 2.0.0-incubating
- Update version string from 2.0.0-incubating-rc1 to 2.0.0-incubating
- Add configure-time check for protobuf, zstd, cmake when --enable-pax is
specified
- Add the notice to greenplum-path* scripts

About Convenience Binaries

As this is our initial release under the Apache Software Foundation, we are
not providing any convenience binaries (such as .rpm, .deb, or Docker
images) as part of this vote. The official release consists solely of the
source artifacts linked above.

We will be gathering input from the development community on which
convenience binaries would be most useful and plan to make them available
in the near future via appropriate non-release channels.

Please note: any such convenience binaries will not be official ASF
releases and will be clearly labeled as such, in accordance with ASF policy.

Thanks for reviewing and voting!

Best,
-=Ed Espino
(on behalf of the Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) community)
