Hi,
1. I don't know how en-US version for SUN providing RC
packages are approved (I mean I'm not in charge of this),
but I'm very sure that we (outside of Hamburg team) shoud
not touch them. If you see some problems, raise issues in the RC phase
prior is better.
in the past there were more QA members involved into the release of
en-US builds (eg. Mechtilde Stehmann or James McKenzie). There's no
reason not to touch them. Volunteers are always welcome.
Attend Release meeting and explain why you think this is a stopper, and
have discussions.
2. en-US packages by non-SUN: up to porting team. e.g., MacOSX PPC,
FreeBSD, OS/2 etc,
it is up porting team and their responsibilities.
That's true.
3. each localized packages: up to each native lang team. We (Joost and
Maho; QA project co-lead
and lead) have same opinion about it.

It's up to each native language team which build they want to have
distributed. As a Sun employee I just can solicit the use of the Sun
provided builds.
I'm not a Sun empolyee, and I respect Joost's opinion.
My opinion, as the project lead of ja project and the QA delegate of
Ja version:
I don't do actual QA tests, therefore, it is up to testers.
If testers find SUN version is good, I approve it.
if testers find other builds are good, I approve it.
If both are QA'ed without problem, I respect Joost's opinion; ask
Joost to upload SUN version. If only other builds are approved,
I ask Joost to upload non SUN version.
As long as somebody had a look at that version and did tests then this
is OK. I have to trust those people who provide the distribution request.
Joost and all please trust me. I never say "my build is superior"
in Japanese or English and everywhere! If someone say so, I'm hijacked :)
don't panic....
Joost
