: I just created the release artifacts (incl. maven artifacts) from the
: 2.3 branch and uploaded the files to
: http://people.apache.org/~buschmi/staging_area/lucene_2_3/rc1/.

Some misc comments while purusing the release artifacts...

1) the release release should use the version number "2.3.0" (note the 
trailing ".0" to be consistent with most of the previous releases (1.9 was 
called 1.9-final for some reaso)

2) the CHANGES.txt file needs updated on the branch to replace "trunk" 
with 2.3.0 and the release date (once it's picked)

3) that anoying "fake" UTF8 BOM is in the CHANGES.txt file on both the 
trunk and in the release (it makes 'less' think it's a binary file).

4) as a result of the changes made to how "nightly" and historic javadocs 
are linked to on the site since 2.2, the local javadocs included with the 
release are only linked to from the "Resources:Developers" section of the 
local docs (/lucene-2.3-rc1/docs/developer-resources.html) and are refered 
to as "Nightly Build Javadocs" ... when viewing the 
"Documentation:Javadocs" page the "Javadocs for Official Releases" section 
does not list 2.3.

(for this release, we may just want to manually change the forrest docs on 
the branch ... but this seems like a maintence pain moving forward, so we 
may want to think about an alternate way of dealing with this)

5) i just noticed that in the binary releases, the contrib directories do 
not contain the README.txt files ... looks like this was true in 2.2.0 as 
well ... we should probably fix this (but it's not a show stopper)


: 
: Let's try to use the next days for testing to ensure that we find
: serious bugs or build problems as early as possible.
: 
: So please help testing the release files on different platforms with
: different JVM versions.
