Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-4508:
--------------------------------------

Here's what the HowToRelease page says:

{quote}
# You probably also want to commit a patch (on both trunk and branch) which 
updates README.txt to bring it up to date (at a minimum, search+replacing 
references to the version number). Also check NOTICE to see if anything needs 
to be updated for recent library dependency changes or additions.
## Select all of the JIRA's for the current release that aren't FIXED and do 
bulk update to clear the 'Fixed Version' field.
## Likewise, use JIRA's Release Notes link to generate content for the 
RELEASE_NOTES.txt file. Be sure to select 'Text' format. (It's OK to do this 
with a direct commit rather than a patch.)
{quote}

The narrow interpretation of this is that you are only allowed to commit 
changes to RELEASE_NOTES.txt without a +1, and I believe that is the actual 
intent since those changes are purely mechanical. I can understand how someone 
could read this and conclude that the policy also extends to README.txt, 
NOTICE, and build.properties, but it's easy to verify that this isn't the case 
by looking at the comments in the commit log. That still leaves two files that 
were modified in the patch which aren't mentioned anywhere on the HowToRelease 
page.

Can you please post a review request for this patch? I noticed a couple other 
issues in the affected files that should be fixed before this patch is 
forward-ported to trunk. Thanks.
