Here we are, at (near) the end of RC4 already! EPP packages will be 
complete in a day or two. 
Everyone, and especially anyone who pushed changes late in the day, should 
confirm the staging repo contains what you expect it to. 

http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging/

The final repo-reports are available at the usual place: 

http://build.eclipse.org/simrel/kepler/reporeports/

For those of you with "missing legal files" ... it is between you and the 
EMO if they will grant an exception for the release. 
I know of only one project that as requested it (bug 401273). 

As for other things, such as unsigned jars, technically you should work 
with your PMC and planning representative to ask for exceptions, 
but suspect if you have not done so by now, it's simply a matter that you 
don't care. But, if you do, the reference is 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SimRel/Simultaneous_Release_Requirements#Planning_Council_Exception_Process
Beyond that, I'll leave it up to the rest of the Planning Council to raise 
objections if they think any violations are so egregious it deserves 
discussing whether or not to included in the common repo. 

Remember that as we enter "quiet week" we do NOT promote the builds to 
their usual place,  since to do so is basically making the release 
available early. 
The purpose of "quiet week" is partially to allow adopters to do final 
acceptance testing, but to also serve as a buffer in case a build is 
required -- but, rebuilds are very risky, and rare, so has to be an 
especially bad bug (such as one which prevents install or update from 
working, or perhaps where one project prevents another project from 
working). 
Otherwise, the extra time is for projects to prepare "hot fix" feature 
patches to be available from their own project repositories. 

If you like to read wordy, but possibly educational, documents, don't 
forget about

Thanks everyone. Good luck with your final testing and wrap-up.
