Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-9748:
-----------------------------------------
This would allow us to automatically cleanup files from a previous release
attempt.
> create_source_release pollutes flink root directory

> Key: FLINK-9748
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9748
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Release System
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
> Priority: Major
>
> The {{create_source_release.sh}} moves generated files into the root
> directory of the flink repository, and also creates the flink-clone in this
> directory.
> It would be nicer if these files were placed under a dedicated directory (say
> releasing/release).
> This would prevent file to prevent release files from accidentally being
> committed by adding this directory to the {{.gitignore}} file, and makes it
> easier to cleanup a failed release attempt by actually making it obvious
> which files belong to the release.
> I already implemented these changes in the {{flink-shaded}} release scripts.
