Eli Collins created HADOOP-8914: ----------------------------------- Summary: Automate release builds Key: HADOOP-8914 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8914 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Task Reporter: Eli Collins
Hadoop releases are currently created manually by the RM (following http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease), which means various aspects of the build are ad hoc, eg what tool chain was used to compile the java and native code varies from release to release. Other steps can be inconsistent since they're done manually eg recently the checksums for an RC were incorrect. Let's use the jenkins toolchain and create a job that automates creating release builds so that the only manual thing about releasing is publishing to mvn central. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
