Re: [CANCELLED][VOTE] Release FOP 0.95beta

Vote cancelled, the artifacts are screwed up.

I thought just a svn up would make the thing. I don’t really understand
why the old image code can still be found in the src distribution file
while it is no longer showing up in my local copy of the tag.

Anyway, thank you very much for noticing that. I’ll prepare new
artifacts and relaunch the vote shortly.

No, an "svn up" is unsafe as you might miss local modifications. Imagine
you looking into a text file with your favourite text editor, as part of
verifying the release, and out of habit you press Ctrl-S without even
noticing it. The text editor might create a backup file (<filename>.bak
or something else). The "svn up" will not notice that. Only a "svn
status" will reveal the difference. It's really just a LOT safer to do a
fresh checkout as you're basically mimicking a normal user trying to
rebuild the release.

Actually a svn up should be allright, but I probably didn't ant clean my
build directory before creating the artifacts. Anyway, restarting from
a fresh checkout now.
