Legal Verifications

Checking Artifacts

Some of these are strictly required for a release to be ASF compliant.

• (required) Verify that the checksums and GPG files match the corresponding release files, for:
  • All artifacts to be released to Maven in the staging Apache Nexus Repository
    Java/Scala source distributions staged A detailed description on how this is done can be found in https://distwww.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flinkinfo/verification.html
• (required) Verify that the source distributions do not contain any binaries
  
• (required) Build the source distribution to ensure all source files have Apache headers
  • Run "mvn clean install -DskipTests" in the maven source distribution.
• (required) Verify that all POM files point to the same version.
• Check that the README.md file does not have anything unexpected.

Checking Licenses

These checks are strictly required for a release to be ASF compliant.

...

A detailed explanation on the steps above is in Licensing.

Testing Functionality

This is not necessarily required for a release to be ASF compliant, but required to ensure a high quality release.

This is not an exhaustive list - it is mainly a suggestion where to start testing.

Built-in tests

Check if the source release is building properly with Maven, including checkstyle and all tests

• Command: mvn clean verify

• Build for Java 8 and Scala 2.12

Testing Against Staged Maven Artifacts
