You might want to take a look at how Tomcat 7 does this. It is built with Ant [1] and has a separate Ant script [2] for uploading stuff to the ASF snapshot, staging and release repositories which also handles the meta-data. Timing wise: - creating the release: 2 mins work + ~15 mins build time - uploading for voting: 2 mins work + ~60 mins transfer time - moving to dist if vote passes: 2 mins work - updating the site: 5 mins work - creating maven artifacts: 2 mins work + ~60 mins transfer time It constantly amazes me how much more complicated the release process appears to be in Commons for what should be much simpler components than Tomcat (no Windows installer, no native libraries, no fun with different NOTICE and LICENSE files for different jars, etc.). I assume it shouldn't be too difficult to do a similar thing with a couple of Maven scripts.
