Following up on this - is there anything we still need to do before we cut the 1.8 release branch in 2 weeks?
Overall I think the native client source code looks like it's in good shape - we're running rat, the LICENSE and NOTICE look good, no binaries in the source, etc. For cutting the release branch, do we have criteria other than passing travis [1] ? What will our release steps should look like for the native client - just tar up the source and sign it with gpg? If we can have this figured out ahead of time and at least provisionally added to the release steps [2] I think it will help this release go a little smoother.
