(which a tag named 0.98.18RC0 points to)


[1]: ASF policy requires that each file hosted in the project dist
space have a file with _just_ the MD5 sum in a file named after the
original with ".md5" as a suffix. (Having an additional file with all
the checksums is a good practice, IMO.) AFAICT we haven't been doing
this in the 0.98, 1.0, or 1.1 lines, so I don't want to hold up this
vote for it. I think we can just fix in the future and retroactively
make appropriate files for old releases from the MD5 contained in the
mds files.

relevant policy:

[2]: I had a couple of test failures in mvn verify, but they were of
the "waiting for hbase to start" variety.
