Hey folks, I am going to vote -1 on this this release. I know, I know, I know I prepared it but I was working for hours and hours last night going through so many facets even working on it to deploy into our own shakedown (pre-production) environment and it hit me! We are not voting on all the artifacts we need for this release, its different than 0.7.X and has to be prepared that way for vote.
so one thing I want to change in src is SNAPSHOT to beta1 and will create JIRA can commit once we get +1 on patch. also for the -bin distribution folks should be able to just download and run the quick start and ./kafka-server-start.sh ../config/server.properties should just start without any other class files, etc. but I will prepare that also and sign it and put up in the second candidate vote any other feedback for the second candidate release please let me know On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 5:41 PM, Joe Stein <crypt...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, this is the first candidate release for Kafka 0.8.0 Beta 1 > > This release fixes the following issues > http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.8.0-beta1-candidate1/RELEASE_NOTES.html > > *** Please download, test and vote by Sunday June, 16th, 9pm PST > > Release artifacts: > http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.8.0-beta1-candidate1/ > > The tag to be voted upon (off the 0.8 branch): > https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kafka.git;a=tag;h=refs/tags/0.8.0-beta1 > > Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/KEYS > > -- > > /* > Joe Stein > http://www.linkedin.com/in/charmalloc > Twitter: @allthingshadoop <http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> > */ > -- /* Joe Stein http://www.linkedin.com/in/charmalloc Twitter: @allthingshadoop <http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> */
