Hi all,
Please find below the proposed release tarball and signatures:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/apr/
I would like to call a VOTE over the next few days to release
this candidate tarball apr-util-1.6.4-rc2 as 1.6.4:
[ ] +1: It's not just good, it's good enough!
[ ] +0: Let's have a talk.
[ ] -1: There's trouble in paradise. Here's what's wrong.
The SVN candidate source is found at tags/1.6.4-rc2-candidate.

+1 to release (tested on macOS with libiconv and sqlite3 from Homebrew)

+1 Built on Windows with the usual stack, and everything seems to be ok; httpd runs as expected with what little testing I'm able to perform.

Thank you for RMing!
+1 for release; builds and tests fine on RHEL8/9/10 + Fedora 44. Tested
against APR 1.7.6 and run httpd-tests with 2.4.68 against both.
(There are minor compiler warnings with maintainer-mode on F44 which
I've fixed in trunk but I think that's not a regression.)
Regards, Joe

Thanks, I will roll by this time tomorrow and we can do a shortened vote

I meanwhile tested the patch r1936912 against Oracle Instant Client 19.31 and added the two tweaks
r1936917 and r1936918. All is backported down to 1.6.x and hence I guess releasing 1.6.5 should be possible quickly.
It just misses a CHANGES entry over 1.6.4 that the brokenness of the Oracle DBD driver was fixed.

Sorry, too late. Small saving grace, it's a build-time failure (when
this feature's dependencies are available)

If the Oracle DBD driver is broken and this is verifies, then this is a
regression. It's fine to retire a release before it has been announced,
fix the bug, roll a new one and update the release notes and
announcement to state that the apr-util-1.6.4 was retired. We can remove
the artefacts from the servers and the archive to prevent users from
inadvertently downloading it.
I don't think we should release a version with a known regression.

Release is published but not announced (stuck on release automation issues).
I'm not sure what's best at this stage, but I think the version number
is burnt so we should do a followup release (if needed). The oracle
changes were just lifted from elsewhere which was indicated in the
original report.
I am inclined to continue announcing rather than leaving in limbo.

Please hold a sec. I guess we broke the Oracle DBD driver. Details to follow.
