Hi guys,
I see many people voting +1 on the release vote opened lately. I'd like
to stress out that voting +1 is not like you just think that, Yeah, It's
Cool(tm) to have a new release, but it requires that you have checked a
few things.
Please just spend 5 minutes reading
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release, and you'll
see that your vote comes with some responsability.
Namely, " Before voting +1 PMC members are required to download the
signed source code package, compile it as provided, and test the
resulting executable on their own platform, along with also verifying
that the package contains the required contents
<http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#what-must-every-release-contain>."
I know that most of the people voting are not part of a non existing
Syncope PMC, but as soon as the project will be promoted to TLP, then a
Syncope PMC will be created, gathering most of the people currently part
of the project. *YOU* are in charge, this is *YOUR* project, so don't
expect that the release Manager will do all the job and you can blindly
trust him. What I mean is that anyone can make a mistake, and if no one
checks anything, it's likely that this mistake will be unnoticed.
Many thanks !
