1. The source distributions (both .tar.gz and .zip) do not include the source for the "iterators" subpackage.
2. In the binary distribution (both .zip and .tar.gz), the commons-collections.jar contains a Manifest.mf that lists:
Specification-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Version: 2.0
I believe both of these should be 2.1
3. In the .zip distributions (both source and binary), the text files do not have windows line endings. I'm not sure whether that's such a big deal, but you'd think that windows users that open the LICENSE.txt file in notepad will want to be able to read it. Same goes for all the source files and such. Recommend running ant's FixCRLF task on all .txt, .html, .xml, and .java files when the .zip distributions are created.
4. Unpacking the source distribution and executing "ant dist" does not generate the exact same binary distribution as what are up on the website. For the most part, this is probably due to #1, but once that's fixed, this should be done againt to make sure things are ok. In addition, the distributions that are generated from the "ant dist" result in files with base name of commons-collections-2.0 instead of commons-collections-2.1. This is due to the component.version specified as 2.0 in the build.xml instead of 2.1.
5. Unpacking the source distribution and executing "ant dist-src" does not generate the exact same source distribution as what are up on the website. This is probably because the build.xml specifies the cvs.tag as COLLECTIONS_2_0 instead of COLLECTIONS_2_1 or COLLECTIONS_2_1_RC1 or whatever.
6. The cvs.root value in the build.properties.sample should probably be ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic" instead of :pserver:username@localhost:/home/cvs. It's a sample, but it'd be nice if it at least as the potential to work for someone.
7. StaticBucketMap should have an @since Collections 2.1 either to replace to to augment @since Avalon 4.0. My preference would be to replace.
That's all I could see in the past hour or so. Wish I had more time to keep looking, but I gotta go to bed.

p.s. Stephen, if you give me the thumbs up (as release manager), I should be able to fix these items, but I won't have time to until Saturday evening at the earliest.
p.p.s. I'm amazed at the size difference between the .tar.gz and the .zip distributions. The source distribution is nearly twice the size (almost 100% larger) in .zip form than it is in .tar.gz form. And the binary distribution the .zip is nearly 35% larger than the .tar.gz form. We sure they contain the same stuff? Looks like it to me, just want to make sure. :)
