I second that.  So long as we do not make an actual tag w/ that date,
i.e. have a time series of release candidates in the tags directory.

Good idea Paul...I like the date time string idea.

naming convention of the binary and the directories to be clearer as to
what
they contain otherwise this will get confusing.  My suggestion is
that the
name be:

geronimo-jetty-1.0-rc[n].tar.gz for example. Where [n] is the number of
the
release candidate (and we are now on number 2). The next set of images
should
follow this convention to ensure we are not confusing the users. I know
these
are release candidates and this isn't required but it would make me

still be
geronimo-1.0.  Thoughts?




Matt, including a notation in the filename seems like a good idea and
could
help prevent confusion.  I've also seen projects use a date string
instead
of a release candidate number for this purpose. Using a date string is helpful since it makes it obvious when the image was created plus avoids publicizing how many unsuccessful attempts there have been (not saying
that
would be an issue in this case :o)

Best wishes,
Paul
