Hello everyone, Calling for a vote on the release of Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.2 I noticed that the official guidelines on the release process https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#policy say that they encourage the votes include the dev community. It also says that making the release files available to readers of the developer mailing list does not violate the rules against publishing them prior to the release vote. Only votes from members of the PMC will be binding, but everyone is encouraged to thoroughly test that these files properly install and pass the make test checks on your platform and any other tests that you can perform. Here are the files that will be released as Apache SpamAssassin 4.0.2 if there are at least three binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 binding votes at the end of the 72 hour voting period, Saturday, August 30, 2022 02:30pm UTC. Note that the policy on voting for releases is not the same as for voting for code committing where a single binding -1 is a veto. Files are in https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/spamassassin The only code change since the release of 4.0.2-rc2 has been the commit in Bug 8344 https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/commit/09a667555c2356772368a134b2599f949ed2c5d1 to fix a regression test when LibIDN was not installed and in Bug 8345 https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/commit/e199e3622b520b57c8f32788c62ba8957b9150b9 to silence a warning in DMARC code. As per https://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#release-approval please download and check the files on your platform(s) before voting +1 if you approve the release, or -1 and state a technical reason why these files are not ready for release. The current draft of the release announcement can be seen at https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/blob/trunk/build/announcements/4.0.2.txt I vote +1 for the release after checking on Fedora 43, OpenBSD 7.7, AlmaLinux 8, and Windows 11. sha256sum of archive files: 9625514b51766d4afe08be2eee90e539c6514e9cfdf657910a555227e9b73ebf Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.tar.bz2 45e82836f388b2913a406da3815d801f37dc6963de9d0b8fcec15d99b7475ae5 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.tar.gz 39b464d875cba0982c2b4fc6622a71287d806a8fc330adb908ead8feb18109ad Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.zip 4084080116aca1a0f565605485b10e3ccbd868ff4d6afa7a796e40c79e698e24 Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-4.0.2-rc1.r1927357.tgz sha512sum of archive files: a32f670e9f491a0400aada9baed3fc39a34a3c803d5c3d5e24a46df9ea79b53929df16da1924b0e684a3af7222afcf99d8265af503cf6e12073618891b11b662 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.tar.bz2 0d5c22d4bb6a1c52a44ecb3754fef302367939d78b1fa22ab4823d58af9d2ef529cff83bff337d6f8c0209cc2d385113769551ccb4122ef8f3403b7bc238b58e Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.tar.gz 128d8e3747fd8c55e49a34569132eb4b8f9adb1c9a4f1846ccdb2ac770a5a3576d1d494a9b111475e1170dfe38ae0349db5cfd3473a4ec08ce8bc0e92bbf4238 Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.2-rc1.zip ef56fff48b295101574c049bec4512601777b89a190bf8796e08fea7084773034971d8ae1847ed10f71a9a4f8fd16aa14457b252ee6b0473526989480d5774fa Mail-SpamAssassin-rules-4.0.2-rc1.r1927357.tgz Regards, Giovanni Bechis V.P., Apache SpamAssassin PMC [email protected]
