It's better to copy rather than rename. > remove the checksums on the signatures before promoting the Nexus repository > (thanks for pointing that out Bernd and Sebb).

The Announce will be seen much wider than just the VFS user community. Yes, people can check the website, but a brief description would be very helpful. > Details of the changes and bug fixes in this release can be found in > the release notes: > http://www.apache.org/dist/commons/vfs/RELEASE_NOTES.txt Likewise it would be useful to provide a short summary of the main changes in the release. In this case there are so many that it might be hard to summarise, so perhaps something like: "VFS 2.1 is binary compatible with 2.0. It includes many new features and bug fixes; please see the release notes for details." The intention of adding this info is to inform potential new users why they might want to take a look at VFS, and to inform existing users why they might want to upgrade. Note that at some point RELEASE_NOTES.txt became RELEASE-NOTES.txt The former should be deleted from the web site once the announce has occured. > For information on Commons VFS please visit the VFS website: > http://commons.apache.org/vfs/ > > Commons VFS can be downloaded from the following page: > http://commons.apache.org/vfs/download_vfs.cgi > > - The Apache Commons community > </snip> > > We'll need to do the following after the artifacts filter out to the > mirrors: > > * Update the website [1] > * Send out the ANNOUNCE (text above) > > Anything else I missed? Any superseded releases need to be removed from dist/release. It should be safe to do this once the announce has been sent, assuming the process above has been followed. Also tidy the RN files (as mentioned above). S.
