Thanks Todd. I agree with doing source code releases going forward.
For that, would it be sufficient to just vote against an SVN tag? Tarballs can then be pulled straight from that tag. -- Lars ----- Original Message ----- From: Todd Lipcon <t...@cloudera.com> To: dev@hbase.apache.org; lars hofhansl <lhofha...@yahoo.com> Cc: Sent: Tuesday, May 1, 2012 9:35 PM Subject: Re: ANN: The third hbase 0.94.0 release candidate is available for download +1 from me, I took it for a spin on the local filesystem with some YCSB load.

I think for future releases we should do the voting against a source tar (ie an svn export) since we now produce multiple binaries, and it's easier to verify that a source tar matches SVN, etc. -Todd On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 4:26 PM, lars hofhansl <lhofha...@yahoo.com> wrote: > The third 0.94.0 RC is available for download here: > http://people.apache.org/~larsh/hbase-0.94.0-rc3/ > (My gpg key is available from pgp.mit.edu.
