I am going to go through those next. I must have misunderstood the voting process, which I thought was, if all goes well: - Send a [VOTE] email (this thread) - Wait 72 hours - Send a [VOTE][RESULT] email: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201103.mbox/%3caanlktikgpm0lo-aoi8wfkjxznoxzodtgza2cwjdcq...@mail.gmail.com%3E Is there a [VOTE][CLOSE] email that needs to go out as well after 72 hours? I can see that I should have mentioned the vote timeline in the [VOTE] email as documented in http://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html But, I used the [VOTE] email template from http://wiki.apache.org/commons/UsingNexus which contains no such text. Sigh, the release process is so obtuse with the mixture of Maven, UNIX, Nexus, multiple instruction pages, and so on. It is quite discouraging and a barrier to progress :( Gary > > Phil > > > >> symlinks.sh > > symlinks.sh: Command not found. > > > >> sh symlinks.sh > > symlinks.sh: 46: Syntax error: word unexpected > > > > I need some UNIX help ;) > > > > Thank you, > > Gary > > > > On Thu, Mar 24, 2011 at 9:39 PM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > >> [VOTE] Release Apache Commons Codec 1.5-RC1 > >> > >> Tag: > >> > >> > >> > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/codec/tags/commons-codec-1.5-RC1 > >> > >> Site: > >> > >> http://people.apache.org/builds/commons/codec/1.5/RC1/site/index.html > >> > >> Binaries: > >> > >> > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecommons-041/ > >> > >> [ ] +1 release it > >> [ ] +0 go ahead I don't care > >> [ ] -1 no, do not release it because > >> > >> Thank you, > >> Gary > >> > >> http://garygregory.wordpress.com/ > >> http://garygregory.com/ > >> http://people.apache.org/~ggregory/ > >> http://twitter.com/GaryGregory > >> > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > -- Thank you, Gary http://garygregory.wordpress.com/ http://garygregory.com/ http://people.apache.org/~ggregory/ http://twitter.com/GaryGregory
