    (Note some *relative* links are broken and the 2.13.1 directories
are not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed.)

    Note that the above report notes several errors.
    These are considered OK for the reasons stated below.
    These exceptions are also noted in the Changes and Release Notes.

    Errors reported:
    - methods added to interface: OK because that does not affect
binary compatibility.
    - etc.

The following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers.

Validating a release candidate
==============================

These guidelines are NOT complete.

Requirements: Git, Java, and Maven.

You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows.

1a) Download and decompress the source archive from:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/pool/2.13.1-RC2/source

1b) Check out the RC tag from git (optional)

This is optional,  as a reviewer must at least check source distributions.

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-pool.git
--branch commons-pool-2.13.1-RC2 commons-pool-2.13.1-RC2
cd commons-pool-2.13.1-RC2

2) Checking the build

All components should include a default Maven goal, such that you can
run 'mvn' from the command line by itself.

2) Check Apache licenses

This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page,
which you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:

mvn apache-rat:check

3) Check binary compatibility

This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page,
which you then must check.
This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:

mvn verify -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp

4) Build the package

This check should be included in the default Maven build, but you can
check it with:

mvn -V clean package

You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply.
To gather OS information from a command line:
Windows: ver
Linux: uname -a

4b) Check reproducibility

To check that a build is reproducible, run:

mvn clean verify artifact:compare -DskipTests
-Dreference.repo=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/staging/
'-Dbuildinfo.ignore=*/*.spdx.json'

Note that this excludes SPDX files from the check.

5) Build the site for a single module project

Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged.

mvn site
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
