Hi Arshad,
Generally looks good—but see my point about releases notes below.
+1 (advisory):
* Tarball contents match repository tag;
* Verified checksums and signatures;
* Built and smoke-tested on NixOS with a slightly adapted version of
the Nix recipe;
* Smoke-tested a standalone server with the (corresponding) Java, C
and Perl clients, as well as the zkfuse contrib;
* Smoke-tested a 3-ensemble with the (corresponding) Java client and
SASL/GSSAPI.
It seems that there were some errors in the bug tracker's "Fix
Version/s" field which in turn caused the release notes to be slightly
inconsistent:
1. ZOOKEEPER-3774, ZOOKEEPER-3798, ZOOKEEPER-3841 and ZOOKEEPER-3858
are mentioned, but seem to only be present in master;
2. ZOOKEEPER-3933 and ZOOKEEPER-3934 are mentioned, but these tickets
were closed without any changes;
3. ZOOKEEPER-3931 is in 3.6.3, but not mentioned as the ticket has not
been closed;
4. ZOOKEEPER-3957, ZOOKEEPER-3980 and ZOOKEEPER-3992 are in 3.6.3, but
not mentioned as the tickets are only tagged with 3.7.0.
The annoying bit, of course, is that releasenotes.md is on the release
branch. Corrections should be applied there if another RC is published.
I, for one, would be fine with only applying corrections to the website
and in a subsequent commit if RC 0 is promoted to release status.
Best, -D
P.-S. — I have *not* tested under Ubuntu, nor have I used the staging
repo. These are important points, but I figured most other testers
would focus on them. Holler if that turns out not to be the case!
