[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: http://www.apache.org/dev/release-distribution.html#sigs-and-sums [2]: I had a couple of test failures in mvn verify, but they were of the "waiting for hbase to start" variety.
