* No zip file for the -src.

Ok, added zip file generation to the source assembly.

* The tar.gz doesn't open into *-src/ directory.

That wasn't the case for the previous fileupload releases. Why change it?


* Unable to find your key so I can verify the pgp.

See, for example,

   http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/jaxme/KEYS
   http://www.apache.org/dist/ws/xmlrpc/KEYS

You are right, of course, that an entry must be added to the KEYS file.


Jars were built by Plexus, so does that mean this is a Maven2 release?

Yes.


Do we have a plan for how we'll do that?

What's the deal?


I'm thinking:

* Change group id?

Couldn't we do that *after* the release, please? I would clearly
prefer *not* to introduce any incompatible changes in that stage.


* How do we build a 2.0 release and vote on that rather than voting on
the release manager's ability to do a release? Is there a way to
deploy known files to an m2 repository rather than having to rebuild?

I never intended to publish the exact distributables that we voted on.
For example, I never intented to change version numbers within the
binary distributables from 1.2rc2 to 1.2. How do others do that?

Afar from that, I never intended to use the release manager. To be
honest, I never got it working. I was thinking along the lines of

   mvn -Drelease clean install site assembly:assembly deploy

Which is (apart from the "deploy") exactly what I did to build the
current files.

If you insist, I can omit the "deploy" and do the deployment manually.
(In other words, omit rebuilding the files.) That said, I spent a lot
of time in an automatic build exactly for *not* requiring any manual
interventions, because I trust my build system more than myself.


* How much of the release code can be shared - I can see stuff in the
pom.xml, can that stuff be in the parent pom?

Yes, but my clear intention was *not* to wait for a release of
commons-parent again (I already did so last year for several months),
rather than learning from this release and then move the stuff up
later. (Note, that I did all changes in a branch, to allow me for
careful integration into either trunk or commons-parent later.)
