Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-5589:
----------------------------------
bq. And at the end of the day, you still have the network transfer as i cant
imagine not testing an RC before calling a vote.
For most people, their network "download" speed is much faster then the network
"upload" speed. An approach like i'm suggesting would leverage the ASF infra
hardware & network to do "server -> server" file copies whenever possible
instead of requiring that a lot of "laptop -> server" copying like our current
process involves.
by my count the RM currently has to "upload" the large release artifacts from
their local net a minimum of 3 times:
* push the whole RC to people.apache.org
* push the maven jars to the maven staging repo (not sure if the final maven
publish involves a local copy or if we currently re-push)
* push the non-maven artifacts to dist.apache.org
...i'm suggesting that that can al be eliminated.
I *never* suggested that the RM wouldn't personal test out the RC before
calling the vote -- that would of course still be the way we do things, and was
covered in the steps i mentioned...
{quote}
* on the RM's local machine, he runs some "smoke-test-release.py
--no-gpg-check" script pointed at the SVN URL of the release candidate
** this smoke-test-release.pl script will do an svn checkout, followed by all
of the normal things that our existing release smoke checker does
** (the "--no-gpg-check" is because the RM hasn't signed anything yet)
** if the smoke test script passes, then the RM, (on his local machine) runs a
"sign-releases.py" script on the artifacts & svn commits the newly created
*.asc files (or maybe the script does that automatically)
* the RM then sends out the email calling a vote on the RC
{quote}
> release artifacts are too large.
