I've created a 1.0.0-RC1-incubating release, with the following artifacts

SVN source tag ( r1335495):

If this is the second attempt, why is it called RC1 ?
Surely it should be called RC2 ?
Depends. As the first vote has been canceled, there was nothing like an
official RC1.
RC means Release candidate; if the vote passes, it becomes the release.
As noted in the subject, this is the 2nd attempt for RC1.
Does not make sense.
The second attempt is the second release candidate, i.e. RC2.
This is not the semantic we are using. A RC is just a relese that we
expect to become the GA if no major issue is encountered. It's not
something like an attempt to release.
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate
The fact that we have to check that a RC is a valid RC against the ASF
croteria does not impede the numbering scheme we use : we keep trying to
cut a release, with the same number, until we get it correct. At least,
that's my opinion, which may not be shared.
In any case, it should not be a blocker...
Thanks !
