Looking ahead to the upcoming branching for 10.4, I have some questions to the instructions at
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbySnapshotOrRelease The text instructs you to "edit tools/ant/release.properties". But this file does not exist, but tools/ant/properties/release.properties does. I'm I correct in assuming that there is a typo in the text? Also, the wiki page only mentions changes to this file on TRUNK. Does that mean that the release.propertes NOW found on trunk, should be copied as is to the branch and remain unmodified until the first relase candidate is created? The text talks about "zero out the maint property and ensure that the beta flag is set to true". That is already true on trunk and doing svn copy will not change that. So is there an implicit intermediate step here where these properties are modified on trunk before cutting the branch? I guess we will need a 10.5 release in Jira after this. Do I have the necessary karma to add this, and if so, how do I do it? I'm assuming this can be done before actually cutting the branch? -- Dyre Tjeldvoll
