I pulled everything about 2 weeks ago and ran everything through Chainsaw.  

The backported receivers which set properties on events (all of the new network 
appenders) are throwing NPEs - around the property setting code if I recall.

We should do something about that - by either supporting properties or 
preventing the NPEs.

Subject: log4j 1.2.15 and companion release candidates
 
As you could probably tell from the flurry of commit messages, I've  
been prepping another round of release candidates.  This time it  
includes log4j 1.2.15 and a flock of companions.  If they pass an  
initial sanity check, I'd like to proceed to a release vote on them.   
If anyone else wants to look any or all of them, please go ahead.  If  
it passes your inspection, start a [VOTE] thread on it.  I'm going to  
double check the uploaded files against builds on a different VM and  
do some internal validation tomorrow.  If nobody else has kicked off  
a vote by that time, I'll start one once I do my double check.

Chainsaw hasn't been updated to reference these release candidates  
and there is still the open question on how to address the loss of  
repository properties in the move from log4j 1.3 to log4j 1.2.  One  
of the possibilities would be to back-port that to log4j 1.2 itself,  
however if that was the chosen approach, I would want to do it in a  
quick 1.2.16 to avoid adding a relatively risky change at the last  
minute to a long overdue and conservative maintenance release.  My  
preferred approach would be to address the issue either within  
Chainsaw or the Component companion (either in a subsequent RC or a  
1.1 version).  I'll look at Chainsaw tomorrow and hopefully will have  
a better answer for that.

All distribution files listed have a correponding .md5 file.  A list  
of dependencies follows the companion.  If log4j 1.2.9+, then the  
companion was build against log4j 1.2.9 and should work with any  
later version of log4j and likely works with 1.2.8 and some earlier  
versions).  The LS staging Maven repository (http:/people.apache.org/ 
builds/logging/repo) contains all the associated jars and POMs.
