RELEASE_NOTES:
1) I've noticed that we actually have 2 RELEASE_NOTES-2.1.txt files in
our source. They are both identical. One is in our root ...
branches/2.1.1/RELEASE-NOTES-2.1.txt. The other is
branches/2.1.1/assemblies/geronimo-boilerplate-minimal/src/main/underlay/RELEASE_NOTES-2.1.txt.
Are both of these necessary? If not, which one is really required?
2) How elaborate do the release notes need to be for a maintenance
release like 2.1.1? For example, our 2.1 release notes included a list
of enhancements explaining each. I was just planning to list the JIRAs
that were included in the release since most items are bug fixes and
remove the 2.1 enhancement content. Is that sufficient and what we have
done in the past?
If it is only bug fixes then that should be the focus, no need to include the
"Geronimo 2.1 Enhancements" again I guess.
We need to make sure we clearly mention this is a maintenance release and that
no new functionality has been introduced
3) Why is the version number in the name? I assume that I need to
rename the current one to reflect that this is 2.1.1 ... but it might be
better to just remove the version number completely when I rename it.
For one, it help us develop/maintain the release notes in the wiki (can't have 2 files with the same name).
Second, I guess it's the fastest way to know the installed version. Specially when you have multiple installs and have been chopping the <geronimo_home> directory to single characters to run "worry free" on certain platform ;-)

README.txt:
4) As with the RELEASE_NOTES we also have 2 instances of the README.txt
file in our source. One is in our root ... branches/2.1.1/README.txt.
The other is
branches/2.1.1/assemblies/geronimo-boilerplate-minimal/src/main/underlay/README.txt.
There is one minor difference between the 2 files. Are both of these
necessary and if not, which one is required?
Thanks,
Joe
