I can see that being sufficient. Or renaming it (or copying it) to
"odftoolkit-0.6.1-incubating". I don't have a strong preference on
this.
With Apache POI, we create the tag as if the release passed, and create
the RC artifacts from there. If the vote fails due to anything in the
source tree, we zap the tag and re-create. I know that some other Apache
projects just "burn" that release number if there's a problem, and roll
the next RC from the next number on.
I staged the release candidate on https://repository.apache.org before
the vote. But after the vote that website was down and I was unable to
release it. And when the website came back, several days later, the
staging repo was gone. I have no idea what happened there. I have zero
familiarity with Nexus to debug this.
If the staging repo has gone, you'll likely need to re-upload the
artifacts, then promote. I've no idea what happened either, but from your
description I suspect that the staging repo has gone for good.
