Thank you, Randall for driving this release.
+1 (binding) after verifying signatures and hashes, building from sources,
running unit/integration tests and some manual tests with the 2.13 build.
Two minor things:
1. There were two sitedoc files - 2.12 and 2.13, we don't really need two
sitedocs generated. Not a big deal, but maybe worth tracking and fixing.
2. I got one test failure locally:
org.apache.kafka.trogdor.agent.AgentTest.testAgentGetStatus failed, log
available in
/Users/gwenshap/releases/2.6.0-rc2/kafka-2.6.0-src/tools/build/reports/testOutput/org.apache.kafka.trogdor.agent.AgentTest.testAgentGetStatus.test.stdout
