Hi All, I'd like to encourage everybody to check the RC2 and provide feedback about it. It's quite simple, just do the following steps: - Download the artifacts from the people.apache.org link I've sent in the initial email (see below) - Check the md5/sha1 checksums - Verify the signature: import the KEYS file (link below, howto in the KEYS file), then verify with gpg --verify apache-flume-1.8.0-src.tar.gz.asc and gpg --verify apache-flume-1.8.0-bin.tar.gz.asc - Check that the downloaded artifacts match the ones in the maven staging repo (org.apache.flume:flume-ng-dist:1.8.0, link to the repo below) - Extract the source tarball, compile and run the unit tests (note: some flaky tests might break, you might want to use the surefire.rerunFailingTestsCount flag) - Extract the binary tarball. You should be able to run it with one of the bin/flume-ng* scripts. (e.g. ./bin/flume-ng agent -c conf -f conf/flume-conf.properties.template -n agent -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console) - Check the generated documents in the doc/ directory in the binary artifact. - Check the CHANGELOG and RELEASE-NOTES files. - Check that all the 3rd party jars are listed in the LICENSE file (the jars can be found in the binary package's lib/ directory)
Of course if you do only a subset of these checks that'd be also a great help.
