Final Tally:

- +0 binding: 2
- -1 binding: 0
- +1 non-binding: 2
- +0 non-binding: 0
- -1 non-binding: 0
Result: No binding positive votes received. Both binding IPMC members
(Jean-Baptiste Onofré and Zhang Yonglun) voted +0 due to significant
compliance issues that needed to be addressed, leading the PPMC to cancel
the vote and prepare RC3.
Issues to be addressed:
1. ASF License Headers (raised by Jean-Baptiste Onofré):
- Added proper ASF headers to markdown files, Makefiles, Python files,
and other community-created files
- Preserved original headers for code copied from other projects
- Comprehensive license header cleanup across the codebase
2. Binary Files Removal (raised by Zhang Yonglun):
- Removed unexpected binary files including:
- GoogleTest library files (libgmock.a, libgtest.a, etc.) from
cpp-stub
- Python package archives (.tar.gz files) from gpMgmt/bin/pythonSrc/ext/
- Other binary artifacts that shouldn't be in source distribution
3. Build System Improvements:
- Replaced cpp-stub submodule with local sources to eliminate
submodule-related binary artifacts
- Improved Python dependency management (replaced pip3 download with curl
approach)
- Enhanced release artifact generation to prevent binary inclusion
4. NOTICE File Cleanup (per Jean-Baptiste's feedback):
- Removed Greenplum and PostgreSQL mentions that weren't from Apache
dependencies
- Streamlined NOTICE to focus on actual Apache dependencies
We believe RC3 (coming shortly) now fully addresses the compliance concerns
raised during the RC2 review and meets all Apache release standards. We
will be calling for a new PPMC vote shortly and subsequently requesting
IPMC approval again.
Thank you to Jean-Baptiste Onofré and Zhang Yonglun for their thorough
reviews, and to all IPMC members who provided guidance. Your feedback has
helped ensure our first Apache release meets the high standards expected of
ASF projects.
About Apache Cloudberry (Incubating):
Apache Cloudberry is a mature open-source Massively Parallel Processing
(MPP) database built on PostgreSQL, designed for data warehousing and
large-scale analytics workloads. This represents our first official release
under Apache governance since entering incubation.
