[Spamassassin Wiki] Update of "ReleasePolicy" by JustinMason

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Spamassassin Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by JustinMason:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ReleasePolicy

The comment on the change is:
new release policy for prereleases

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Full (general availability) releases require 3 +1's from PMC members.  This is
  unfortunate, but it's a requirement of the ASF's bylaws.
  
+ Pre-releases and RC's can be created and uploaded with just "lazy consensus" -- ie.  it's all go unless someone speaks up to object.  However, you need to make it clear they are not equivalent to a "full"/"official" release -- they cannot be uploaded to the "real" website download directories (ie www.apache.org/dist), or announced as a full release via a mail to the announce list.  Make it clear that this is an unofficial "test build" by placing it in your public_html dir -- e.g. http://people.apache.org/~jm/devel/ -- for download.
- Pre-releases and RC's can be created and uploaded with just committer votes --

- Instead, make it clear that this is an unofficial "test build" by placing it in
- your public_html dir, e.g. http://people.apache.org/~jm/devel/ .
