And by the way, I might be giving you completely bad advice here. The general advice is that a release should work standalone and be robust when other projects change. But I don’t know how you should achieve it. I’ve never made a release of a project in any language other than java. You guys should see what similar Apache projects do, and consider asking a question on general@incubator.
