I'm thinking of writing some ruby or python scripts. Does anyone else know those languages?

What's wrong with Java :o)

There's a few things we need (svn, ssh/scp, pgp) that are just not easy to do from java, and hence, ant/maven.

ssh/scp is available as Ant tasks. And you can always use <exec> which seems to be just as 'platform dependent' as requiring python/bash/whatever.


Does anyone have any useful scripts lying around for things like tagging svn, generating md5 and .asc files, interacting with www.apache.org/dist, etc?

For generation of MD5 and .ASC (and soon uploading) they all exist as Ant tasks in Avalon Magic. /repos/asf/avalon/trunk/tools/magic
(Avalon Magic will have complete release management in due time :o) )


Shouldn't Excalibur also use Maven's release management, since Excalibur has voted to use Maven as the build system? Aren't you too quick to 'do it my way', instead of 'adapting the standard' ?
