-1 (non-binding) I'm getting an error with gradle when using the source artifact because it seems to be expecting a git repository here:
line 68 of build.gradle: def repo = Grgit.open(project.file('.')) and I get this message: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * Where: Build file 'kafka-0.9.0.0-src/build.gradle' line: 68 * What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'kafka-0.9.0.0-src'. > repository not found: kafka-0.9.0.0-src The definitions for rat make sense when working on a git branch, but not for the release artifact. One way around this is to disable rat by commenting out the corresponding lines, but that isn't what the README file says. I'd rather have an RC that fixes this issue by possibly disabling rat altogether. -Flavio > On 10 Nov 2015, at 07:17, Jun Rao <j...@confluent.io> wrote: > > This is the first candidate for release of Apache Kafka 0.9.0.0.
