Either you vote or you don't, everything else is considered advisory,
you know that. The release packages that most people in practice will
use contain -incubating in the file name. I don't know what could be
any more explicit. Anyhow, we'll add a file for the next release.

Maven (the project) has super clear step-by-step instructions at
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html for
releasing with Maven (kudos to Maven guys for that!) which I followed
religiously. Maybe you could write another one for Maven-based podling
releases but I'm not sure it's worth it. Most of the pain we (Shiro)
experienced was with the website - these rules are really not clear
and there's a million different competing technologies to put together
a project website. Unless incubator starts dictating the technologies
to use for a podling website (which I'd be strongly against), I don't
see how one could write up a *simple* checklist. It's worth an effort
to clarify the http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html
page though. Whatever the technology, I'd much rather improve
something existing than whip up yet another semi-official Confluence
page.

Which page? Do you mean:

http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html#distribution

If so, I understand that is in the process of being updated.

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html#disclaimers says:

"Podling web sites MUST include a clear disclaimer on their website
and in all documentation (including releases) stating that they are in
incubation."

The important part here is "(including releases)".

There is no requirement that the disclaimer be in a file called DISCLAIMER.
However it must be present, as mentioned above.

It is suggested that it is placed in a separate DISCLAIMER file as
this makes it more obvious, and makes it easier to drop
post-incubation.

>  Otherwise we  assume the release would have been voted against.

The lack of a DISCLAIMER was reported as part of the vote.
I don't know why it was not considered blocking.

Agreed it is long-winded.

Toward the end it contains the section:

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-disclaimer

which says:

"TODO: the incubator requires that users are informed that the by
including a standard disclaimer. may be include in README,
RELEASE_NOTES DISCLAIMER. It is recommended that it is not included in
NOTICES"

This is very badly worded. But given that NOTICE must be included in
releases it implies that the disclaimer must also be included in
releases.

Hi folks,

congratulation for getting the release out of the door ... :-) ... and 
shiro folks (aka JSecurity) did an excellent job.


Regarding the "no-frills step-by-step, no room-for-error release"

+) it is difficult to write

Maven) making the stuff even more difficult


Maybe more stuff can be done to streamline your release process using M2

Sorry to keep going on about Shiro, but the download page does not
follow standard ASF practice.

The download page links to reposity.apache.org.

However repository.apache.org  is not to be used for direct
publication to end users, it is for publishing to the main maven repo.

Also, the downloads page does not have a link to the KEYS file. Nor
does it have any documentation on how to use the sigs and hashes.

The downloads page should only link to the ASF mirrors, see for example:

http://incubator.apache.org/photark/photark-downloads.html

http://incubator.apache.org/guides/branding.html#disclaimers
