Apache Trusted Releases (ATR)

A prototype service for verifying and distributing Apache releases securely.

NOTE: New contributors must introduce themselves on the development mailing list first, to deter spam. Contributions are very welcome, but please do not submit a PR until you have introduced yourself.

Status

This repository contains code developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Tooling team.

As of January 2026, this code is available for internal ASF feedback only. The project is in alpha development and subject to significant changes.

We welcome feedback and discussion, but note that many known issues and design refinements are already scheduled for future iterations. Please review our issue tracker and inline comments before filing new issues.

Alpha test deployment: https://release-test.apache.org/

Note: This repository is not yet an officially maintained or endorsed ASF project. It does not represent final technical or policy decisions for future ASF Tooling products. The code is provided without guarantees regarding stability, security, or backward compatibility.
