Hello Apache Pulsar Community, This is a call for the vote to release the Apache Pulsar Helm Chart version 3.0.0.
This is our first official vote to release the helm chart. It follows a newly merged release process that is still subject to change (https://github.com/apache/pulsar-helm-chart/pull/301). I did a major version bump to mitigate the security concerns raised by https://github.com/apache/pulsar-helm-chart/issues/294. The release candidate is available at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/pulsar/helm-chart/3.0.0-candidate-1/ pulsar-chart-3.0.0-source.tar.gz - is the "main source release". pulsar-3.0.0.tgz - is the binary Helm Chart release. Public keys are available at: https://www.apache.org/dist/pulsar/KEYS Here is a draft of the 3.0.0 release notes: https://github.com/apache/pulsar-helm-chart/pull/322 For convenience "index.yaml" has been uploaded (though excluded from voting), so you can also run the below commands. helm repo add apache-pulsar-dist-dev https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/pulsar/helm-chart/3.0.0-candidate-1/ helm repo update helm install pulsar apache-pulsar-dist-dev/pulsar pulsar-3.0.0.tgz.prov - is also uploaded for verifying Chart Integrity, though it is not strictly required for releasing the artifact based on ASF Guidelines. You can optionally verify this file using this helm plugin https://github.com/technosophos/helm-gpg, or by using helm --verify (https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_verify/). However, I had trouble with the formatting of our KEYS file while trying to get the helm --verify feature to work. helm gpg verify pulsar-3.0.0.tgz The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Only votes from PMC members are binding, but members of the community are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)". For license checks, the .rat-excludes files is included, so you can run the following to verify licenses (just update $PATH_TO_RAT to point to your binary download of https://creadur.apache.org/rat/download_rat.cgi): tar -xvf pulsar-chart-3.0.0-source.tar.gz cd pulsar-chart-3.0.0 java -jar $PATH_TO_RAT/apache-rat-0.15/apache-rat-0.15.jar . -E .rat-excludes Additionally, tests to verify upgrade scenarios are particularly helpful. Please note that the version number excludes the `-candidate-X` string, so it's now simply 3.0.0. This will allow us to rename the artifact without modifying the artifact checksums when we actually release it. Thanks, Michael
