You can just download the distribution artefacts from nexus, and test
them out, which is what I typically do.
You could also configure the staging repository as a maven repo if you want.

Hi Kris,
I was hoping to start Wednesday morning, GMT time. Jenkins would need
to be blue.
Tags are created locally and pushed when the release process
completes. Consequentially there are no tags on github until after the
release goes live.
I believe however that there is possibly an opportunity for the
artifacts on Nexus to be reviewed by a wider audience before their
release.
I will happily shout their availability from the roof tops - I for one
don't want to be doing a 5.5.1/5.4.1. <
http://5.4.1.>
Unfortunately I don't know if unreleased artifacts on Nexus can be
downloaded by others (I presume they can provided you can login to
Nexus). Anyone know?
With kind regards,
Mike

Michael,
We should make sure that we notify everyone if all artefacts are
in staging on nexus, so we have the possibility to do one last
sanity check before pushing everything out (as there's no way back
then, other than doing 5.5.1/5.4.0 release. If all teams give the
go ahead, we can then publish them. This to avoid any last minute
issues that might show up.
When exactly is the tagging process going to start? So we all
know by what time all fixes need to be in.
