What happened
The source release documentation in dev/README.md appears to contain several stale references that no longer match the current repository layout and release state on main.
Observed on main at c22cc6d:
dev/README.md:45 says the source package builds a "fully-functional Apache Airflow 2.0 package". The current development branch is no longer describing an Airflow 2.0 source package.
dev/README.md:56 says "We also plan to release the official Helm Chart sources...", but the repository already contains the Helm chart under chart/.
dev/README.md:89 points readers to provider package files in airflow/providers/<PROVIDER>, while providers now live under top-level directories such as providers/standard, providers/amazon, and providers/http.
dev/README.md:92 has official_source with an underscore.
dev/README.md:99 has a missing space in "apache-airflow-providers"separately.
These are small documentation issues, but they are in release/development documentation and can confuse contributors or release-adjacent readers trying to understand the current source tree.
What you think should happen instead
The dev/README.md source release section should be refreshed so that it:
- Describes the current Airflow source package without referring specifically to Airflow 2.0.
- Reflects that the Helm chart is already part of the repository.
- Points provider readers to the current
providers/<provider>/... layout.
- Fixes the minor wording/spacing typos around
official source and apache-airflow-providers.
How to reproduce
- Open
dev/README.md on the current main branch.
- Review the "Apache Airflow Package" and "Provider distributions" sections.
- Compare the documented provider path with the current top-level
providers/ tree.
