[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-438?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Henri Yandell updated LEGAL-438:
--------------------------------
Component/s: Policy Question
> Github release pages showing unapproved releases
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LEGAL-438
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-438
> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Components: Policy Question
> Reporter: Justin Mclean
> Priority: Major
>
> The IPMC is trying to provide advice to podlings on how to handle releases listed on GitHub release page .e.g [https://github.com/apache/incubator-doris/releases]
> For releases that occurred before incubation it seems best to label them as non Apache release so that's OK.
> However GitHub will turn any git tag into a release that means that release candidates and the like will show up on this release page (see example above) be marked as a release and be available to download as a .tar.gz or .zip to the general public. This doesn't seem in line with ASF release and distribution policies. [1][2]
> What do we do about this?
> a) Ignore that they show up here.
> b) Mark all release / tags as "pre-releases" (another GitHub release feature)
> c) Delete RC tags after they have been voted on?
> d) Disable release pages in GitHub
> e) Something else?
> This issue has been raised to GitHub some time back and there's little action on it. [3]
> Note that TLP also have the same issue.
