I was just wondering about the write permissions for all files. Surely the release artifacts should never be modified, as mentioned in later sections. So it would be sufficient to keep those read-only, as long as there is write permission on the directory to remove them? Well, it's not policy and everybody does it that way, so I guess there's no need to mention that. Could you rephrase the term "top level subdirectory" to something that isn't self-contradictory? ;-) Just dropping the "top level" part should be OK. In the "Archiving Old Releases" section, should people verify that an artifact is in the archive before deleting it from the dist/ directory? That would only come into play if a release artifact is withdrawn within hours, before it has been automatically archived. So maybe mention it only in "Dealing With A Defect"? cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
