I've not use Nexus upload much - I only used it to release the Daemon jars from the existing binary release, but that worked fine. > This is a new RC with my guarantee that nothing has changed from the > previous RC: the RC3 and RC4 tags contain the same version of the same > files.

I'm suggesting that having the actual hashes in the VOTE e-mail is better for traceability as the dist and Maven repo contents can be linked directly to the VOTE. I guess that one can also follow the Nexus promotion mail trail and tie it to the vote, but AFAICT that does not prove conclusively that the artifacts present in a repo are identical to the ones voted on. It would also have avoided needing to re-run the VOTE, had you (or someone else) been able to recreate the staging repo from the original files. > Thank you, > Gary > >> >>> >>> [ ] +1 release it >>> [ ] +0 almost, please fix: >>> [ ] -1 no because: >>> >>> This VOTE is open for at least 72 hours, until Janurary 12 2011, 10:30 EST. >>> >>> Changes: >>> o [POOL-208] Support Java 1.5 Generics in version 1.x. >>> >>> Thank you and happy new year, >>> Gary >>> >>> -- >>> E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org >>> JUnit in Action, 2nd Ed: http://bit.ly/ECvg0 >>> Spring Batch in Action: http://bit.ly/bqpbCK >>> Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com >>> Home: http://garygregory.com/ >>> Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory >>> >>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >>> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >>> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> > > > > -- > E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org > JUnit in Action, 2nd Ed: http://bit.ly/ECvg0 > Spring Batch in Action: http://bit.ly/bqpbCK > Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com > Home: http://garygregory.com/ > Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
