Hi Yishay,

I am working on the existing steps as we speak ... I'm talking about after 
that. I want to learn what in general the hard requirements are and start a 
discussion on them because currently a lot of "steps" are implemented in order 
to achieve something. I want to learn not what is currently being done, but 
what this step is trying to achieve. Cause perhaps there are multiple ways to 
achieve the same goal.

    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.

    Subject: Requirements for Releases
    
    Hi all,
    
    I would like to use this thread to collect some requirements for the 
release process.
    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?
