Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-9748:
-----------------------------------------

This would allow us to automatically cleanup files from a previous release attempt.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Release System

> The {{create_source_release.sh}} moves generated files into the root directory of the flink repository, and also creates the flink-clone in this directory.
> It would be nicer if these files were placed under a dedicated directory (say releasing/release).
> This would prevent file to prevent release files from accidentally being committed by adding  this directory to the {{.gitignore}} file, and makes it easier to cleanup a failed release attempt by actually making it obvious which files belong to the release.
> I already implemented these changes in the {{flink-shaded}} release scripts.
