[general][M7] Code base unfrozen?
hi, all:
After the voting we agree that there are no blocked issues for M7
now. Should we release M7 and unfroze the code base for Harmony development?
My understanding is that for M7 release we will need to updated the
news[1] and download page[2] and place the milestone binaries [3] (the
Apache policy requires that released binaries must be signed and are
distributed via mirrors). Right? Do we need Tim's help to sign and
destribute them?
Thanks.

The KEYS file is in the root of our SVN tree [1], and distributed as
part of our downloads in the root of our dist tree [2].
Feel free to add your key in there. People have different criteria for
signing a key, but a good way to get lots of signatures is to attend an
ApacheCon event and go to the key signing party [3]. If that's unlikely
then approach people and ask them what it would take.

I'd like to prepare for release signing.
Are there a common way/steps to put the KEYS file and enlarge my
web-of-trust?
thanks a lot.

I believe my web-of-trust is large enough, so I can sign a release.
The other committers and PMCs should make sure to put their keys in
the KEYS file in SVN and if you attend an event, try to get your key
signed.

We sign the full release artifact (.tar file) rather than individual
JARs. It would be good if three were more people who were prepared to
sign the releases.

Yes! We have historically not been so good at promoting the
improvements ...

I've just concluded the vote, so let's consider the code unfrozen now.
I do think we need Tim to sign the JARs though, so let's wait for him
before announcing it or updating the website.
Shall we come up with a list of what's new in M7
in the meantime?
