[cross-project-issues-dev] Kepler SR1-RC2 is complete ...

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The EPP packages are published in on the
"developer" tab of the downloads page [1] and we encourage committers,
adopters, and users to begin "final testing", if you have not
already. While there are two more "RCs", we expect fewer and
fewer changes going into subsequent ones, so testing done with RC2 would
not be invalidated.  In particular, be on the look out for any major
regressions or blocking items that have occurred since Kepler was released.


Remember we do not "promote"
the staging (maintenance) repository [2] anywhere since we expect it to
be fairly stable and expect (nearly) every aggregation build to be a good
one at this point. I will "promote" any new contributions that
have ran on Hudson to .../maintenance about once a day, or upon request
(made to this list). See the FAQ [3] on the best ways to test "staging
repo" and upgrades from previous release. 

As always, post to this cross-project
list if anyone has any issues or questions. 

Thanks to you all!
