• A tag for the release candidate needs to be created in subversion. It should be created under the tags directory of the repository and should be named release-W.X.Y-RCZ (with Z being the release candidate number, starting with 1 and with .Y only being included if Y > 0)
• export from this tag to get the code for the release candidate
• add Dojo Toolkit
  • download and extract most recent (and tested to work with web code) version of Dojo Toolkit under 'web'
  • rename extracted dojo directory to just 'dojo'
  • change to themes directory and run './copydojocss.sh default'
• remove any VCL perl modules that should not be part of the release
• create a tarball of the directory
  • compress it with bzip2
  • name it apache-VCL-W.X.Y-RCZ-incubating.tar.bz2 (the .Y should only be included if Y > 0)
• create MD5 and SHA-1 sums of the tarball
• sign the tarball with GPG
  • This document contains information on how to sign the tarball
• distribute the RC through the release manager's personal web space on people.apache.org (RC are not to be release from the main distribution area to cut down on archive storage and mirroring bandwidth)
