Over all a much stabler release pack, a good indication we are marching towards 
a 1.0. Here are some tests I did:

* svn export https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/0.6/RC4/
* verified all signatures: for file in `find . -type f -iname '*.asc'`; do gpg 
--verify ${file}; done
Got the success message:
gpg: Signature made Fri Jan 25 22:04:52 2013 EST using DSA key ID C659C4E7
gpg: Good signature from "Saminda Wijeratne (CODE SIGNING KEY) 
<[email protected]>"
Note: I previously had Saminda's keys in my keyring. If not you will need to 
first download them. 

* Followed the two quick start tutorials 
-http://airavata.apache.org/documentation/quickstart-tutorials.html

* Successfully ran the simple math, complex math workflows. 

* The levenshtein distance sample workflow fails, I creates a issue 
(AIRAVATA-745), but we can probably ignore this as lot of other tutorial 
examples work. The idea with these tutorials is anyway to convey the concept. 

* Configured grid credentials and ran a workflow on Trestles Cluster.

One issue I have seen is the Application Services do not get refreshed after we 
register a application. This is an inconvenience but does not warrant a resin. 
I updated the tutorial instructions to do the manual refresh.

I will vote my + 1. 

Cheers,
Suresh
