naivedogger · 2026-07-23T07:42:49Z

Removes Apache Incubator branding now that Fluss has graduated to a TLP:

Deletes DISCLAIMER / helm/DISCLAIMER and their references in the binary-release script and the fluss-rust license-check ignore list.
Drops "(Incubating)" from all Maven POM names and module descriptions (46 POMs).
Removes "(incubating)" from NOTICE, NOTICE-bin, helm/NOTICE.
Updates README, both Dockerfiles, and the fluss-rust sources/bindings.
Website: removes the incubation footer disclaimer, replaces the Incubator footer logo with the ASF logo, and updates page copy.
Community: renames PPMC → PMC in become-a-committer.md.
Updates the PMC roster in fluss-team.md.
Converts the release guides and release.sh to TLP form: single community/PMC vote, drops IPMC / PPMC / Incubator checklist wording, and switches dist paths to /fluss.
Drops "-incubating" from artifact naming in the release guides and release.sh.
Re-enables the tag/crate version check in the verify-tag-version action.

Pull request overview

This PR updates Apache Fluss’ repository content to reflect graduation from the Apache Incubator to a Top-Level Project (TLP), removing Incubator branding across build/release metadata, documentation, website, and client bindings.

Changes:

Removes Incubator-specific branding and disclaimer text (e.g., DISCLAIMER files, “(Incubating)” labels) across docs, website, Dockerfiles, and Maven module metadata.
Updates release documentation and release scripts to use TLP processes/paths (single community/PMC vote, dist paths under /fluss, and artifact naming without -incubating).
Re-enables the Git tag ↔ crate version verification composite action in CI.

+        base() { echo "$1" | sed -E 's/-rc(\.[0-9]+|[0-9]+)$//'; }


It seems we need to adapt this?

Fixed. The action now reads fluss-rust/Cargo.toml explicitly.

Thanks @naivedogger , PR #3764 has now merged the website/TLP cleanup into main. Please rebase this branch onto the latest main and drop the website changes already covered there so this PR does not duplicate or conflict with the merged work. While resolving the overlap, please preserve the useful additions in this branch that go beyond the basic branding cleanup—especially updating the release-guide examples from 0.8.0 to the post-incubation 1.0.0, which will be more useful for future releases, and the order&descritpion of the PMC Chair in Fluss Team page updates.

wuchong · 2026-07-26T04:20:59Z

 ```bash
-RELEASE_VERSION="0.8.0-incubating"
-SHORT_RELEASE_VERSION="0.8"
+RELEASE_VERSION="1.0.0"


This guide and its expected artifacts now use 1.0.0, but helm/Chart.yaml still sets both version and appVersion to 0.10.0-incubating, while helm/values.yaml still defaults image.tag to 0.10.0-incubating. With the current tree, helm package produces fluss-0.10.0-incubating.tgz, but create_helm_packages.sh subsequently tries to sign fluss-1.0.0.tgz, so release creation fails; installing the chart also deploys the old image by default. Please update the chart version to 1.0.0 and align appVersion and image.tag with the actual Docker release tag (1.0 or 1.0.0).

Fixed. The Helm chart version, appVersion, and default image tag are now aligned to 1.0.0.

-        src: "/img/apache-incubator.svg",
-        href: "https://incubator.apache.org/",
-        alt: "Apache Incubator logo"
+        src: "/img/asf_logo_wide.svg",


I would suggest to remove the ASF logo in the footer, this is not required for a TLP and it makes the footer too large.

Fixed. This PR no longer adds the ASF logo.

Fluss has graduated from the Apache Incubator to a Top-Level Project. Remove incubation branding across the repository: - Delete DISCLAIMER and helm/DISCLAIMER; drop the DISCLAIMER copy step in the binary release script and the fluss-rust license-check ignore entry. - Drop '(Incubating)' from all Maven POM names and remove the incubation disclaimer paragraphs from module descriptions. - Remove '(incubating)' from NOTICE, NOTICE-bin and helm/NOTICE. - Update README, both Dockerfiles, and the fluss-rust sources/bindings. - Website: remove the incubation footer disclaimer, replace the Apache Incubator footer logo with the ASF logo (rendered white on the dark footer via CSS), and update page copy. - Community: rename PPMC to PMC in become-a-committer. Version strings, historical release/download links, the fluss-team roster (mentor/PMC composition), and release-process docs are intentionally left for release/INFRA/PMC follow-up.

Follow-up to da55dee: complete the remaining Incubator removal items now that Fluss has graduated to a Top-Level Project. - Update the PMC roster in fluss-team.md to the board-approved 14-member PMC: Jark Wu as Chair, drop Mentor/PPMC role definitions, add PMC Chair / PMC Member / Committer definitions. - Convert all release guides to TLP form (how-to-release/*, fluss-rust release docs, release.sh): replace two-phase Incubator PMC vote with a single community/PMC vote, remove IPMC / general@incubator / PPMC / Incubator Release Checklist references, update dist paths from /incubator/fluss to /fluss. - Drop "-incubating" from artifact naming; use not-yet-released future versions (Fluss 1.0.0, fluss-shaded 1.0, fluss-rust 1.0.0) as examples to avoid fabricating artifact names that never existed. - Re-enable the tag/crate version check in verify-tag-version action (disabled when release tags carried "-incubating"; fluss-rust is now at 1.0.0 without the suffix). Download-page links, KEYS URLs, and version strings pointing at the currently published incubating artifacts are intentionally left until the first TLP release and the corresponding INFRA dist-directory setup.

addition to the comment of @wuchong: sorry for hijacking parts of your PR @naivedogger, i somehow missed it 🤦🏻‍♂️ i'll also adapt the description of your issue and remove the points that are already done

thanks 🤓

naivedogger · 2026-07-26T11:29:59Z

Thanks @wuchong for the comments. Rebased onto the latest main and removed changes already covered by #3764. The 1.0.0 release examples and PMC Chair updates are preserved, PTAL. @michaelkoepf No worries, thanks! I have rebased the PR and removed the overlapping changes.

wuchong

Thanks @naivedogger , it looks good to me in general.

Just one question, it seems we left the release.sh and release documentation under fluss-rust untouched, is there a plan to update them in follow-up PRs?

naivedogger · 2026-07-27T07:28:34Z

@wuchong Yes, I plan to address this in a follow-up PR.

luoyuxia
