Add an (automatic) validation process to infinispan releases 
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-942
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-942
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Task
    Affects Versions: 4.2.1.CR3
            Reporter: Mircea Markus
            Assignee: Manik Surtani
             Fix For: 4.2.1.FINAL


In order to avoid problems with releases a release validation process should be created. The following problems were encountered in the past and should be checked by this release process:
- incorrect XSD (ISPN-934)
- upload problems to SF (e.g. today the release script silently failed to upload the binaries to SF as they changed their certificate)
- wrong binaries being deployed under the "right" name(e.g. a 4.x release was performed from trunk and not from the 4.2.x branch)

Any others?

All these cause a lot of community frustration and time to debug and fix. 

These can potentially be automated.
