If we want to vote on something, we have to vote on the tarball. That's
the only thing that counts in terms of distributions/releases.
Well, that is what we plan to do if nobody has any issues with the
release candidates. This is not a vote but a heads-up.
This also means, if these release are meant to be the final 1.0.0
release, the archive we vote on has really to be 1.0.0. With the
consequence that if the vote should fail, there will be no real official
1.0.0 release, the appropriate changes have to be made and the next
archive to be voted on will be 1.0.1.
Right, and to catch a failing vote early we are asking people to look
at what we are planning to release.
If these are potential release candidates (I dont find a better
english term right now but I hope you get what I mean), than labelling
them rc or rc1 is fine, but this also means once we want to release a
1.0.0 a new archive has to be cut and a new vote has to be started.
True. This is what we are going to do.
Now, I know this sounds like a pain but its the offical release policy
and wants you are adapted to it, its really easy as you don't have to do
any magic to change the release archvie from 1.0.0-rc to 1.0.0 etc.
Just create the release with the appropriate version number, but it out
to a place where the committers/pmc members can download (this can be a
public place), let them vote and either declare it official or withdraw it.
Well, I might be missing something but that is exactly what we want to
do. The only step in between is that we make release candidates
available for people to look at. That might be overkill but this will
be our first official release so I'd rather like as much feedback as
possible.

Hi all,
Rick and I have been working some more on the 1.0.0 release. I just
created release candidates for the first batch of subprojects we need
to release before we can release the framework namely,
pom-1.0.0-RC
bundleplugin-1.0.0-RC2
org.osgi.core-1.0.0.-RC
shell-1.0.0-RC
shell.tui-1.0.0-RC
bundlerepository-1.0.0-RC
We intent to call a vote on them soonish so please let us know whether
there are any showstoppers.
regards,
Karl
