Tell me about it! :-)

Thanks for the information.  It's useful to understand further, and
I've also been looking through the Jenkins configuration of it a bit
already.  It's definitely a good step forward for 11.2.

However, it's also not quite what I had in mind with my question
(sorry!).  At the moment, an end user can download the main release
source and call -

ant build-source-config -Dcluster.config=platform

and they will get a source bundle like the platform sources we
distribute.  In other words, even though it's source, the platform
source zip is a build artefact of the main source bundle and doesn't
get voted on separately.

The thing I'm wondering is about documenting how an *end user* can
take our released sources and generate the same Maven artefacts
locally.  This to me is part of showing that they are purely artefacts
of the sources we voted on.

Probably not.  Although Reema better to answer that.  They are one
reason I think we might not always have all convenience binaries ready
at release vote time, or even want to, and should really keep the two
things separate.  Hence original question in this thread about how we
oversee binaries in general.

As we don't really seem to have come to a conclusion on that, for 11.1
I've tagged Reema and yourself on JIRA against installer and Maven
tasks.  From my perspective, upload at will when you're satisfied
they're ready and meet PMC requirements.  Once they're up we can close
the parent JIRA task for NB 11.1.

Best wishes,

Neil
