# Verify the build works

Be mindful of the pre-requisites required for the C++ version of MiNiFi, 
enumerated in the README [1] and the switching to the CMake build system
These can vary from system to system and distribution, an example of the 
package listing for a recent Ubuntu release is:
  cmake gcc g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev libleveldb-dev libleveldb1v5 uuid-dev uuid 
libboost-all-dev libssl-dev doxygen

Once the required environment is established, a build with testing and linting 
can be performed via:

  cd nifi-minifi-cpp-0.2.0-source
  mkdir build
  cd build
  cmake ..
  make package
  make test
  make linter

# Verify the contents contain a good README, NOTICE, and LICENSE.

# Verify the git commit ID is correct

# Verify the RC was branched off the correct git commit ID

# Look at the resulting convenience assembly (nifi-minifi-cpp-0.2.0-bin.tar.gz) 
found in your build directory

# Make sure the README, NOTICE, and LICENSE are present and correct

# Run the resulting convenience binary and make sure it works as expected

Be mindful of caveats for this initial release, listed in the README.

For some additional assistance, a package with configuration files for both a 
MiNiFI instance and a NiFi instance available at 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MINIFI/Releasing+MiNiFi#ReleasingMiNiFi-SampleNiFiandMiNiFiConfigurationtotransmitdatafromMiNiFitoNiFiviaSitetoSite
The provided sample configuration bundle assumes that NiFi is configured to 
listen on port 8081 and has 10001 configured for Site to Site's 
nifi.remote.input.socket.port.

# Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1 based on your 
findings.

Thank you for your time and effort to validate the release!
