Before voting  please review the sections:
What are the ASF requirements on approving a release? at
http://www.apache.org/dev/ and approving a release  at
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release

For your convenience, I have added an Ant script to the RC folder. This ant
script automates the checks a voter should perform on the RC.
It will:
  - download the default source package for your OS (use -Dpackage.suffix
to override)
  - run md5 and gpg checks (this assumes you have gpg installed in your
path)
  - uncompress the source package
  - install and run rat
  - display the rat report and ask you to verify
  - display the rat report without the AL files and ask you to verify the
non-AL files
  - display the README and ask you to verify
  - display the RELEASE_NOTES and ask you to verify
  - display the NOTICE and ask you to verify

  - display the LICENSE and ask you to verify
  - run the build and any tests run by the build.


You should be able to go away for a while during the build. When it is
finished, it will display information to be copied into the vote thread.
You are not required to use this script, and more testing of the packages
and build results are always encouraged.


To use this script (assuming you have Ant installed), it should be as
simple as:
- Create an empty folder
- Download ApproveInstaller.xml into that folder from:
  
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/flex/installer/3.1/rc7/ApproveInstal
ler.xml
- Run: ant -e -f ApproveInstaller.xml -Drelease.version=3.1 -Drc=7
