To release Codec 1.8, I just tried following https://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html
In particular: "Before you close<http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html#close-stage>the staging repository you must remove the tarballs/zips together with their PGP signatures and checksums using the Nexus web interface. While you are at it you can also remove the checksums Nexus created for the PGP signatures of the remaining artifacts, they are not needed at all." So I dutifully deleted .md5 and sha1 files and guess what? I messed it up by deleting all MD5 and SHA1 files instead of just this one and that one out of the 61 files that are presented in the UI. Frak! So beware, our release process sucks rocks and does not do it well, as it has for years. :( Gary -- E-Mail: garydgreg...@gmail.com | ggreg...@apache.org Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition<http://www.manning.com/bauer3/> JUnit in Action, Second Edition <http://www.manning.com/tahchiev/> Spring Batch in Action <http://www.manning.com/templier/> Blog: http://garygregory.wordpress.com Home: http://garygregory.com/ Tweet! http://twitter.com/GaryGregory
