Hi, An addition to this vote: main and the framework distribution are staged too, in a second repository.
- org.apache.felix.main 8.0.0 - org.apache.felix.main.distribution 8.0.0 The distribution is the downloadable felix-framework-8.0.0.zip and .tar.gz: felix.jar is main 8.0.0, and bundle/ holds gogo.runtime 1.2.0, gogo.jline 1.1.8, gogo.command 1.1.2 and bundlerepository 2.0.10. Second staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachefelix-1558 Usage: sh check_staged_release.sh 1558 /tmp/felix-staging The vote covers both repositories and still closes 72 hours after the original mail.
