[wtp-releng] Status and plans for M7 and RC1

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure you've all seen we've "declared"
our M7 build. 

As previously mentioned, and repeating
here to be clear, I will  turn on our I-builds, 
and update our prereqs as they become
M7 final. 
Assuming all the rebuilds and unit tests
look fine, I will 
update our M7 download page to point
to those final prereqs, and massage our Junit summary to reflect that all

is accounted for (in other words, zero
out things that might appear to indicate errors, but which are known not
to be). 

I'll also confirm our milestone repository
works as an update and confirm it goes into helios repository ok. 

While we won't have any further formal
sign-offs, I'd encourage anyone with concerns or special dependencies,

(such as installing remote server adapters?
:) 
to re test on Monday or Tuesday and
let us know if issues found. Technically, we could re-declare on Tuesday,

if a blocking problem found. 

But otherwise, assume we are off and
running for RC1. PMC review required, etc. We'll want to move slowly until

Tuesday, but we do want our RC1 to be
well tested, and truly "Release ready".

Thanks,
