Hi Ferenc, Thank you for creating the first release candidate.
I did the following checks: 1) checked the checksums & the signatures - OK 2) compared the contents of the src.tar.gz with the repository @ release-1.9.0-rc1: here I found the following unnecessary files (they are not in the repository): - ./${project.basedir} - ./.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar - ./flume-checkstyle - ./flume-ng-sinks/flume-hive-sink/derby.log 2b) after removing these files and directories I verified that the content of the src.tar.gz matches the content of the repository. I used the following command: find . -type f | grep -v ".git" | sort | xargs cat | shasum 3) compiled the contents of the src.tar.gz, it was successful as expected. 4) compared the jars in the bin.tar.gz with the jars created by mvn install in the src with jardiff [1] and there were only metadata diffs due to the different environment Due to the issues found in 2) I'd vote a -1 for this RC and ask Ferenc to go ahead with creating an RC2. Plus I found some outdated parts in the User Guide, I've opened a pull request [2] to remove those, I think it would be worth to include that change in 1.9 too.
