To be a PITA; PMC vote on the "final artifact" that is to be placed on Apache distribution, and not any Subversion content. This is done to ensure consistency between the vote and the distributed artifact. So, I think what you are asking from the community is "[DISCUSS] Release 2.2 ???" where actions needed from the PMC can be discussed and acted upon, as you nicely tell everyone. Then you proceed as Craig said with cutting the artifacts and uploading them together with Signatures (.ASC), checksums (.MD5, .SHA) and RAT report (RAT is a tool to audit a release, http://incubator.apache.org/rat/) and then call for "[VOTE] Release 2.2", since you are still in Incubator, the vote happens here first (with a notification to [email protected]) and then if it passes here, a formality vote by the Incubator PMC ([email protected]) to make it official. > Is there a directory I can upload the signed release and checksums before > placing them on www.apache.org/dist/incubator/river for checking? Yes, as Craig mentioned (perhaps less than obvious); when you log in to people.apache.org you land in your home directory. In there, create a directory named "public_html" and change the access flags (chmod +x . && chmod +rx public_html) and it will be accessible by the public from http://people.apache.org/~yourApacheId/ As I said above, you need to cut and publish this to the PPMC/PMC prior to the vote.
