I've done the last few tc-native releases because they reached the point where they really needed to happen. tc-native isn't my area of expertise so I'd be more than happy to see someone else take this on. More frequent releases are certainly possible and very much the way we should be aiming to do things as an Apache project. "Release early and release often" is the goal. What contribution are you (or anyone else reading this) willing/able to make to help this process along? The tc-native release process is documented (ish) here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/native/branches/1.1.x/jnirelease.sh?view=annotate and https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/Building+the+Tomcat+Native+Connector+binaries+for+Windows Off the top of my head things that need to be done / checked: - ensure the changelog is up to date - versions all correct in source - select and document APR & OpenSSL versions - check everything builds correctly Confirmation that any of the above is ready to go or patches to fix things if there are gaps will move a release forward. I can find the time to apply patches and turn the handle on the release if others can do the work to ensure that svn is in a good state to release. It is a fairly safe bet that anyone helping out substantially on the release is going to find themselves with an invitation to become a Tomcat committer and the RM for the next release.
