Release 0.7.6 shipped with a bug in the debian packaging that prevent the package from being correctly set up (CASSANDRA-2481). Since the debian packaging is in-tree, I'm not sure we have better choice than doing a new release.
I thus propose the following artifacts for release as 0.7.6-2. SVN: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/branches/cassandra-0.7.6-2@r1124973 Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-034/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/0.7.6-2/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-034 The artifacts as well as a debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ This release only differs from 0.7.6 by a one line change. I thus propose an expedited vote of 12h (with still a minimum of 3 binding votes of course, so longer if need be). [1]: http://goo.gl/BfuBh (CHANGES.txt) [2]: http://goo.gl/y8gGF (NEWS.txt)
