+1 Besides, what is there /really/ to test? The final tarball *should* be an exact replica of the rc3 tarball modulo innocuous non-code changes and the obvious tweaks to svn_version.h, right? If rc3 builds and runs, I should think that confirming that the final tarball builds and doesn't crash on 'svn --version --verbose' should be sufficient validation for most of us who know the code. -- C.
