Hey Ayush, I just wanted to highlight that the vote applies to all released artifacts, not only the source packages. The source package is of course the primary and most important deliverable but the PMC is responsible for everything under downloads.apache.org and similar places. Any additional binaries will need to be verified by the PMC to ensure that there are no violations of the ASF policy.
While I was working on preparing the 4.0.0-beta-1 it took me quite a bit of time to ensure that our convenience binaries comply with the ASF guidelines and I am not yet 100% sure that I covered everything. I would be more eager to drop the existing convenience binaries rather than introducing more. The additional binaries would also put additional strain on the ASF servers. I see the benefits for ARM binaries but I would prefer to keep releases simple and let those who are interested in those build them themselves. We can do whatever we can to facilitate the build process of such binaries but not necessarily deliver and host them ourselves. I am somewhere -0 for this. I am not gonna vote against the idea but not supporting it either. Best, Stamatis On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 4:48 PM Attila Turoczy <aturo...@cloudera.com.invalid> wrote: > > Love it!
