[RESTARTING][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2

[Steffen Rochel]

Dear community -
based on Justin's and community feedback I'm suggesting to restart the vote.
Current status:
binding votes:
+1: 2 votes (Henri, Jason)
-1:  1 vote (Luciano)

non-binding:
+1: 1 vote (Kellen)

The community is investigating feedback from Luciano that the exclusion
file is to broad and potentially missing files which can and must have
apache license headers not to be checked.

Regards,
Steffen

[CANCELLED][VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2

[Steffen Rochel]

Dear community -
I'm cancelling the vote due to -1 feedback from Luciano due to RAT
failures.
For details see
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/51e9ab05edae2089c74a253000a92d5aa5c6406f54e5bd0a0b3c3879@%3Cgeneral.incubator.apache.org%3E

The MXNet community will discuss next steps.

Regards,
Steffen

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2

[Steffen Rochel]

Thanks to Henri, Jason and Kellen for your feedback.
We currently have *two, binding +1 votes* (Henri, Jason) from Incubator PMC
members, so *still don't meet the incubator release voting criteria
<http://incubator.apache.org/policy/incubation.html#releases>*.
I'm asking support from Incubator PMC members to test and vote on the MXNet
v1.4.0.rc2 release.

Henri and Kellen - please correct if I interpreted the incubator voting
rules wrong and Kellen does count as binding vote as he is ASF member.
I didn't count his vote as binding, as he is not part of Incubator PMC (as
far I can tell from http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html).
I may have misunderstood the rules.

Regards,
Steffen

[VOTE] Release Apache MXNet (incubating) version 1.4.0.rc2

[Steffen Rochel]

Dear community,

This is a call for releasing Apache MXNet (incubating) 1.4.0, release
candidate 2

Apache MXNet (incubating) community has voted and approved the release.

Vote thread:

https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/4b445460d36d098be1c1e60e29869cf243e2bc37bd2b84ca7b1daab3@%3Cdev.mxnet.apache.org%3E

The community raised the following issues which are not considered as
release stopper:

1. NOTICE year is wrong (2018): Not considered a stopping issue as release
was started in 2018.
2. TVM NOTICE missing - TVM NOTICE file was added post the commit ID used
in MXNet v1.4.0.rc2 release, not considered a stopping issue
3. build with make passes, but build with cmake failed in
3rdparty/dmlc-core/test/unittest
4. Recent MKLDNN upgrade prevents us from offering binary distribution for
earlier versions before OSX 10.13.

Hi Gang - thanks for your feedback. I filed
