Preparing to Release Rat 0.10...

[Robert Burrell Donkin <rd...@apache.org>]

There seems consensus that we should start preparing to release Apache 
Rat 0.10 and, unless anyone else wants to jump in, I'm happy to act as 
release manager. I'll aim to cut a release candidate this weekend, so if 
anyone has anything else that needs to be taken care of before then, 
please jump in.

I've regenerated and updated the website based on the latest code: 
http://creadur.apache.org/rat/. If anyone has a few cycles to review, 
that'd be great.

There are notes on the Apache release process here[1]. Rat uses Maven, 
so I'll cut and sign the artefacts before uploading them to staging 
(hopefully this weekend). Then comes the vote to.

Questions...?
Objections...?

Go for it.

If there are issues, it's easy enough to respin the release candidate.

I've taken a look at a dry run, and everything looks okay to me

The next stage will be to cut, sign and upload a release candidate to 
the staging nexus repository[1].

Any objections before I cut a release candidate...?

I hope to cut a release not earlier than tomorrow morning (Sunday), so 
please jump in sometime today (Saturday)

(Then follows a period of public review, allowing a chance for issues to 
be found and fixed before the candidate is published.)
