I validated the following using the tar.gz distributions,

- Airavata Server & Airavata XBaya startups
- 5 & 10 minute tutorials
- Basic use cases of Airavata API [an exception occured
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-750 but a Workaround was
possible]
- Validated the signatures

The release looks solid.

+1 from me for RC4

Regards,
Saminda

Hi Lahiru et al,

I know gmail mingles the [DISCUSS] and [VOTE] threads, but please identify the VOTE thread and cast the vote, otherwise we will loose the provenance in the results tally.

Over all a much stabler release pack, a good indication we are marching towards a 1.0. Here are some tests I did:

* svn export https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/airavata/0.6/RC4/
* verified all signatures: for file in `find . -type f -iname '*.asc'`; do gpg --verify ${file}; done
Got the success message:
gpg: Signature made Fri Jan 25 22:04:52 2013 EST using DSA key ID C659C4E7
gpg: Good signature from "Saminda Wijeratne (CODE SIGNING KEY) <sa...@apache.org>"
Note: I previously had Saminda's keys in my keyring. If not you will need to first download them. 

* Followed the two quick start tutorials -http://airavata.apache.org/documentation/quickstart-tutorials.html

* Successfully ran the simple math, complex math workflows. 

* The levenshtein distance sample workflow fails, I creates a issue (AIRAVATA-745), but we can probably ignore this as lot of other tutorial examples work. The idea with these tutorials is anyway to convey the concept. 

* Configured grid credentials and ran a workflow on Trestles Cluster.

One issue I have seen is the Application Services do not get refreshed after we register a application. This is an inconvenience but does not warrant a resin. I updated the tutorial instructions to do the manual refresh.

I will vote my + 1. 

Cheers,
Suresh
