Hi all, I would like to call a VOTE to release Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.1.0-rc2.
This vote covers the source release artifacts for Apache Cloudberry (Incubating) 2.1.0-rc2, including the main Cloudberry project and the two components cloudberry-backup and cloudberry-pxf. ## Key changes since 2.1.0-incubating-rc1 - cloudberry: * No changes. Fixes for the license typo and documentation updates pointed out during the RC1 round will be included in the next release. - cloudberry-pxf * Add `cloudberry-pxf-release.sh` to assist the release manager in creating ASF releases. * Update `Makefile` to include `fdw` in DEB/RPM packages. * Remove `gradle-wrapper.jar` from the source tree; it is now downloaded and validated during the build process. * Add ASF license headers to files created by the Cloudberry community. * Update the `LICENSE` file to reflect the latest changes from third-parties. * Add a new `README.apache.md` to document historical attributions and describe test archive files. * Add a new `pom.xml` with necessary exclusions for running `mvn apache-rat:check` during license audits. * Add `.github/workflows/apache-rat-audit.yml` to perform regular license checks on PRs and pushes. - cloudberry-backup * Update the `LICENSE` file with correct open-source attributions. * Add a new `README.apache.md` to document historical attributions and describe test archive files. * Add a new `pom.xml` with necessary exclusions for running `mvn apache-rat:check` during license audits. * Add `.github/workflows/apache-rat-audit.yml` to perform regular license checks on PRs and pushes. ## Release Candidate Artifacts Staged release artifacts: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/cloudberry/2.1.0-incubating-rc2/ Git tag & commit for the release: - cloudberry https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/tree/2.1.0-incubating-rc2 https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/commit/bdf90c5518f916f5dfea335c1cd83724e0ebe9e2 - cloudberry-backup https://github.com/apache/cloudberry-backup/tree/2.1.0-incubating-rc2 https://github.com/apache/cloudberry-backup/commit/3b5451f4b1974ee8b35d44e141d13e5bc909df59 - cloudberry-pxf https://github.com/apache/cloudberry-pxf/tree/2.1.0-incubating-rc2 https://github.com/apache/cloudberry-pxf/commit/118f5889cff90d185a24caad2f6582dc9b105b0c KEYS file: https://downloads.apache.org/incubator/cloudberry/KEYS GPG signature key: 9A36AA272348A207E193A49C500708B75754FB7C The GPG user ID(s): Dianjin Wang <[email protected]> ## How to Vote Please review the release and cast your vote below.
