Hi all, I ran the "technical" verification of the release artifacts using the verification script [1].
The result is not "perfect", as it reports two reproducible build issues, which are already tackled via [2] and [3]. All GPG signatures, verified against the keys in the project's KEYS file, and all checksums are correct and match the signed/checksummed artifacts. The binary distribution tarball+zip however contain a regression as the bin/server and bin/admin scripts are not executable (POSIX permissions 644 instead of 755). A fix is available [4]. It's a user-experience regression from 1.2. I think we should cancel rc0 because of the UX regression and re-roll rc1 with the fixes. Thoughts?
