Jacopo, Thank you! This will surely help others to be able to produce release packages in a uniform and consistent way.
It seems that you forgot to mention that prior to step 4 some kind of clean-up needs to be done, namely: - perform a ./ant clean-all to remove built jar files in every component, and cach, log and data files in the runtime folder; - perform a clean-up to remove all hidden files in .svn folders everywhere. The above two steps will ensure that the package is as clean and as compact as possible.
