Ensure the right release steps

[Anatole Tresch <at...@gmail.com>]

Hi John/other mentors

so since we have passed the incubator vote, we can do the release. I just
wented to ensure not doing something wrong here:

1) Basically I will add dist-bin, dist-src files in zip/tar.gz format along
with all hashfiles and the KEYS file to
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/incubator/tamaya/0.1-incubating

​2) I will update the homepage with the corresponding javadocs and asciidoc
generated html files, as well as the release infos. I hereby also prepare
things
so future releases can be more easily integrated.

3) I will release the staging repos on Nexus, so our artifacts get
published to maven central.
    -> 3b) Hereby I could remove the distribution files before doing so,
because
         these files are already committed to the directory used in 1).

Step 3b would avoid storing the distribution 2 times. WDYT?

Yes, and officially this is the release.

I'll leave this up to you.  It makes the release smaller, but adds a manual
step.  I don't think its necessary and its not killing anything by having
the source release in maven as well as the distribution area.  The
distribution area should only contain the latest release, so maven would
have every version.
