I have voted on multiple releases where you have been the RM and you have done the right thing by putting up for vote the source tarball, binary tarball, and even the staged maven repository. Also, for the Chukwa case, we have proposed they go ahead and do a maintenance release (even if it's just a revote of the tag with maybe increasing the minor version of the release) which shouldn't be a big deal. -- Luciano Resende http://people.apache.org/~lresende http://twitter.com/lresende1975 http://lresende.blogspot.com/
