Jan Høydahl commented on LUCENE-5143:
-------------------------------------
To bring closure, I propose the following
* We delete these: {{lucene/java/KEYS}}, {{lucene/solr/KEYS}}
* We update https://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/KEYS and make sure it
contains all keys ever used for signing a release
* We stop publishing KEYS to every release dir. Instead the RM will only need
to make sure that his/her *own* key is in the file. Never remove keys, only add.
* https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseTodo should probably be updated to
clarify
I think this is in-line with
https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#keys-policy
> rm or formalize dealing with "general" KEYS files in our dist dir

> Key: LUCENE-5143
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5143
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Hoss Man
>
> At some point in the past, we started creating a snapshots of KEYS (taken
> from the auto-generated data from id.apache.org) in the release dir of each
> release...
> http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/4.4.0/KEYS
> http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/4.4.0/KEYS
> http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/4.3.0/KEYS
> http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/4.3.0/KEYS
> etc...
> But we also still have some "general" KEYS files...
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/KEYS
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/KEYS
> https://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/KEYS
> ...which (as i discovered when i went to add my key to them today) are stale
> and don't seem to be getting updated.
> I vaguely remember someone (rmuir?) explaining to me at one point the reason
> we started creating a fresh copy of KEYS in each release dir, but i no longer
> remember what they said, and i can't find any mention of a reason in any of
> the release docs, or in any sort of comment in buildAndPushRelease.py
> we probably do one of the following:
> * remove these "general" KEYS files
> * add a disclaimer to the top of these files that they are legacy files for
> verifying old releases and are no longer used for new releases
> * ensure these files are up to date stop generating per-release KEYS file
> copies
> * update our release process to ensure that the general files get updated on
> each release as well
