Seems like based on Apache, RC is not publicly available (our RC is what we currently have in Maven staging)
>From "Apache Release Management Guide" *Release Candidates* A release candidate is a artifact upon which a vote is held for a release. The actual nature of the release candidate depends on the release system adopted by a the project. Those projects adopting a system of blessing a candidate will start by creating a candidate which will then be promoted by a series of votes until it either fails or reaches full release status. In this case, the same candidate may be known as a release candidate, an alpha, a beta and then a full release. Those projects which releases candidates will vote on a sample release candidate. Only full releases should be place distributed from the main directories. There are a number of reasons for this: It is traditional that release managers use their Apache home space to make available release candidates --martin -----Original Message----- From: Nicholas Gallardo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 2:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release Wink 0.1 Yep, exactly...
