On this topic... I've been looking at the release stuff and decided
to just go for it...
For this initial RC1 for version 4.0.0 I decided to go with the tag
route and we'll do a branch later when we're ready to do a final
release. The "tag" in this case is just an svn "soft" tag, ie the
implicit tag from the revision number (see the REVISION) file in the
archive. A real tag in SVN is pretty much the same as a branch and I
think is a little heavier than what we need for this.
Before moving on to the next step we need to review this among
ourselves. Here is a list of things that I can think of that we need
review in this:
1. test un-archive and run as-is (should only require JDK installed)
2. identify and show-stopper bugs that we should fix before a real RC
3. check all ASF required files (NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, etc) and headers
4. check PGP and MD5 files
5. anything else?
Anyone who feels comfortable looking at these things, please do and
comment as needed!
The files are posted for initial review as attachments on the
docs.ofbiz.org site to this page:

course your help reviewing this so we can move to the next step!
