Release tagging clarification

Hi,
There has been some confusion with regards to the tagging for the
upcoming icedtea6-1.5 release. I usually tag the repo, and do all the
testing based on that tag. Sometimes, testing fails and new commits need
to be added under the current tag. I think it would be best for everyone
if we started appending "rc1, rc2 ..." to the release tags until the
testing is complete and everyone agrees that we can proceed with the
release.
I have renamed the current icedtea6-1.5 tag to "icedtea6-1.5rc1", and
tagged the repo again as "icedtea6-1.5rc2". I am starting a new round of
testing tonight on the current state of the repo. I will announce
everytime I tag the repo for a new release candidate.
Just because the repo was tagged, it did not mean the release was
complete. This should resolve some confusion for the future.
Cheers,
Lillian
