Subject: Re: [VOTE]: Apache HAWQ 2.3.0.0-incubating Release
Recently the "release policy" [1] changed ; it (now) says :
Good to know about it.
MUST supply at least one (SHA or MD5) checksum file,
SHOULD NOT supply a MD5 checksum file (because MD5 is too broken).
This sounds confusing. Could be "MUST supply SHA checksum file(s)," (?)
See RFC 2119 : https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt
"MUST", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT" etc are technical terms.
RFC 2119 explains what they mean.
Hint :
MUST == obligation ; a strict requirement
SHOULD == recommendation ;
Note : the policy can't say "MUST supply SHA checksum",
because many projects have older releases in /dist/
that are MD5-only ; under "new policy", that is
frowned upon, but not forbidden.
