Next problem: the VOTE passed, so I am releasing.

C:\temp\rc\release-httpclient-4.3.2>gradlew -q promoteRC
Promoting HttpClient 4.3.2 RC1 to official release
Copying
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/tags/4.3.2-RC1to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/tags/4.3.2

Good. Next, Logon on to Nexus, while the Wiki says to "Promote", that
option was disabled for me and all previous Commons release I worked on
used "Release" to release. So I picked that.

Next is where I ran into:

C:\temp\rc\release-httpclient-4.3.2>gradlew -q promoteDist

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'C:\temp\rc\release-httpclient-4.3.2\build.gradle' line: 605

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':promoteDist'.
> org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNAuthenticationException: svn: E170001: CHECKOUT
of
'/repos/dist/!svn/ver/4107/release/release%5Chttpcomponents/release%5Chttpcomponents%5Chttpclient':
4
03 Forbidden (https://dist.apache.org)

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or
--debug option to get more log output.


Is this a karma problem or a process issue?

Thank you,
Gary
