 Hi,

 I've just updated the releasing guide up to the point in time where the
 release vote happens.  It covers publishing via Nexus and svnpubsub for
 releases.  This has not been published, yet:

 http://commons.staging.apache.org/releases/prepare.html

 Feedback and corrections more than welcome.  I'll start working on the
 follow-up document soonish.

 I have one question:  I have not cut a release in a while and was
 always able before to avoid Nexus and the maven release plugin.  I
 understand now there is no way around using these.  First, that is
 correct, right?

There is no way around Nexus.  I haven't used the release plugin to
release Compress 1.5 at all.  Just stick to a more manual method of
creating tag.

You can use Nexus without Maven at all (we use Ivy for this in Ant
land).

 Second, one thing I remember was having to mess with local .settings
 files to store credentials.  Is that still necessary?  Should it be
 mentioned somewhere?

It is necessary when you use Maven, yes.  I've linked to the necessary
steps in the second paragraph (the prepare your development
environment link).

 One small comment.  We might want to, um, update the jdk version
 in the example from 1.3 - he he.

Now also done: http://commons.staging.apache.org/releases/release.html

Please review it and correct my mistakes before the site gets published.
