ASF lockdown on version numbering was pretty traumatic. then there's the fact that people.apache.org is going away and our RCs have to go to > Not trying to be argumentative -- just curious. I'd like to stay a > "one-build-tool" project :) before we were a one-inadequate-build-tool and a list of manual actions and things to remember now we are maven for the builds, but choreographed with Ant, https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/branches/branch-0.9/bin/release.xml which can do things like copy and commit the RC files to the svn dist repository https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/branches/branch-0.9/bin/release.xml#L408 verify they and the nexus artifacts are available for D/L, along with the checksums https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/branches/branch-0.9/bin/release.xml#L455 autogenerate the release vote email text: https://github.com/apache/incubator-slider/blob/branches/branch-0.9/bin/release.xml#L495 it runs rat before the build, refuses to release if there is anything to commit in the repository, or if the commit that you have locally isn't pushed up to the apache git server (how can you vote for it?) so: way better than before, the human intervention should be down to < a limited number of actions, and I will probably make most of the build process something jenkins will run everynight to ensure that the code is always ready to release
