I would add being able to work on it incrementally. That is, a failure in one step does not mean previous steps are thrown away. Not sure how feasible that is, but I think it would be nice to have.

Also would I like to ask you not to formulate things like “The release artifacts must be built with X” but rather “The release artifacts should be usable by X” cause that’s what really matters. I hope you get what I mean. So far I have this: * The release artifacts should be usable by Maven * The release artifacts should be usable by Ant * The release should include tests, which ensure the correct function of the royale-maven-plugin * The release should include tests which ensure the correct function of the Ant targets * It should be possible to verify a release by comparing it’s binary artifacts for equality (reproducible builds) * It should be ensured a release candidate builds correctly with Ant and with Maven * The release process should ideally work on any machine Did I miss something?
