May 2025 monthly summary for Apache Flink CDC packaging work focused on release hygiene and artifact quality. Delivered a targeted fix to exclude MacOS AppleDouble (.\_*) files from source releases and updated the packaging script to disable their creation and avoid generating them during tar on Darwin. The change is captured in commit 29bee723be4f63d5cc86c80789c022b9a290da69 (FLINK-37839) and aligns with release artifact quality goals across platforms. This work reduces noise in release artifacts, improves reproducibility for downstream users, and speeds up release validation by eliminating spurious MacOS-specific files. Key achievements: - Implemented Source Release Packaging Cleanup to prevent ._* AppleDouble files from being included in source releases. - Updated create_source_release.sh to disable AppleDouble file creation and avoid generating them during tar on Darwin. - Recorded and referenced in commit 29bee723be4f63d5cc86c80789c022b9a290da69 ([FLINK-37839]). - Result: cleaner, reproducible release artifacts with cross-platform packaging stability.
