I've put up a log4j 1.2.15_rc2 build with Maven to http://
people.apache.org/builds. I'm not pushing to have a vote on it at
the moment, but to get any feedback on issues with the build.
Documentation for the build should shortly be at http://
logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/. Distributions are available at http://
people.apache.org/builds/logging/log4j/1.2.15. A maven repo has been
set up at http://people.apache.org/builds/logging/repo/. Likely you
could automatically download the release candidate by adding the
appropriate repo declaration to your pom.xml.

MD5 checksums are provided, but as these are not a release, no GPG
signatures are provided.
Source can be checked out using:

BUILD-INFO.txt describes the initial Maven setup. Using Maven
required switching the build Java compiler from a 1.3 to a 1.4
(though the bytecode should be 1.1 compatible). However, I recall
from years back some earlier problems with supposedly compatible
bytecode produced by later JDK's not working with very early JDK's.
I haven't tested the jar with any earlier JVM's, but will expect to
do so before calling for any vote.
