HI Dale,

as I mentioned in the other DISCUSS thread I already noticed this shortcoming. 
I think the following path should be ok for us to follow:

1. I manually add my pgp key to the list in KEYS in SVN
2. I manually add the files created by the assembly plugin to SVN
3. We continue the voting
4. In develop I try to automate the deployment of RCs for the next version
5. We decide what to deploy and what not to and add exclusions to the poms for 
next time

You think that’s a valid approach?

Chris

    Chris, thanks for moving the release/RC along!
    
    I’ve kicked off this DISCUSS thread because I'm unable to tell if the
    staged RC is good to go or not and I didn’t want to pollute the RC1 Vote 
thread.
    
    Since this is a new process for the project and the nexus / maven release 
flow
    is new to me I’m confused and have to ask some questions before I can assess
    if the RC contents are ok.
    
    I, and others, definitely can’t follow the directions in the VOTE's [6] 
    even reading between the lines and omitting the RM and “binary” parts of it 
:-)
    
    Here’s where I’m stumbling:
    
    - I’m of the belief that the traditional normally mandated ASF *source* 
release staging and
      release areas must continued to be used for the release’s aggregate 
source bundle(s)
          https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/edgent 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/edgent>
          https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/edgent 
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/edgent>
    
      There isn’t anything staged in the “dev” area for 1.2.0.
      If you look at the “release” area you’ll see what the expected 
contents/layout are
      (of course omitting the “binaries” dir for 1.2.0).
    
      FWIW, there seems to be inconsistency among what additional files
      TLPs have - e.g., beam,nifi,camel only have the bundle, kafka includes 
RELEASE_NOTES,
      flex (which original edgent process derived from) has LICENSE, README, ….
      I guess we can follow the lean-and-mean ones if we want to :-)
    
      That said, that layout, and form of bundle name, is what the [6] 
referenced
      download-edgent-asf.sh tool expects so it simply won’t work.
      I’m happy to fix the script, if appropriate, once I understand things.
    
      Note: I see aggregate source release bundles *are* present in the nexus 
dir:
    
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheedgent-1002/org/apache/edgent/edgent-parent/1.2.0/
 
<https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheedgent-1002/org/apache/edgent/edgent-parent/1.2.0/>
      That said, the form of their names (edgent-parent-1.2.0-source-releaase…) 
isn’t what's expected / required.
      Also note, those names are different from what -Papache-release generates 
in the target dir
      (apache-edgent-<ver>—incubating-source-release…)
    
    - I’m unclear on what I see staged in nexus will ultimately be released in 
nexus and mirrored to maven central,
      hence unclear whether the nexus contents are “correct”.
    
      Is everything present in the nexus’s RC staging repo going to get 
mirrored to Maven Central
      and if so, is that what’s desired?
      - there are the aforementioned aggregate edgent-parent source bundles 
(with names different from what's mandated - e.g. “incubating” in them)
      - there are individual component source jars - I can imagine those could 
be useful for associating src with a component
      - there are individual component test jars - those seem undesired
      - there’s the edgent-test* components - those seem undesired
      - there are edgent-distribution components that have aggregate/transitive 
“bin” bundles that we’re NOT releasing
    
    Thanks in advance for the clarifications.
