Based on Tim's email a while back about what he does to validate releases, I created a script to help automate that in the future. As I don't have as much shell-fu as some of the rest of you, this is written in Ruby (shelling out things that need to be shelled out). Feel free to take a look, I've put it up on github: https://github.com/chrisrohr/apache-blur-release-validator
