+1 NB I did the following: 1. Verified repo tag matches the sha in the email (30b05bd7991617b212b8089787fe9ca829d00154) 2. Configured a gradle project with the nexus staging repo as a repository and pulled in the artifacts and ran a very small e2e test against a TestContainer C* 4.1 3. Downloaded the artifacts from subversion, verified keys and checksums, extracted artifacts 1) mkdir -p release-verification/4.19.2/gnupg && chmod 700 release-verification/4.19.2/gnupg 2) svn export https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cassandra/cassandra-java-driver/4.19.2 release-verification/4.19.2/dist-dev 3) curl -fsSL https://downloads.apache.org/cassandra/KEYS -o release-verification/4.19.2/KEYS 4) GNUPGHOME=release-verification/4.19.2/gnupg gpg --import release-verification/4.19.2/KEYS 5) GNUPGHOME=release-verification/4.19.2/gnupg gpg --verify release-verification/4.19.2/dist-dev/apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.2-source.tar.gz.asc release-verification/4.19.2/dist-dev/apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.2-source.tar.gz 6) cd release-verification/4.19.2/dist-dev && shasum -a 256 -c apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.2-source.tar.gz.sha256 7) cd release-verification/4.19.2/dist-dev && shasum -a 512 -c apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.2-source.tar.gz.sha512 8) cd release-verification/4.19.2 && tar -xzf dist-dev/apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.2-source.tar.gz
