+1 (binding) I checked:
- Automated checks (`verify-release.sh`): OK - License report validation (`./gradlew generateLicenseReport`): OK - LICENSE/NOTICE manual review: OK (afaict) - Spark plugin JARs: OK - Binary distribution: OK - Source distribution: OK - Helm chart: OK (the index.yaml file is present and correct) The staged Helm repo seems correct to me, I was able to helm pull & helm install from it. It correctly lists 1.4.0 and also 1.3.0-incubating, as expected. The SVN messages during release step 3 imho can be safely ignored.
