Hashes and sigs are OK, though the sig says:

Signature made 04/03/08 19:13:56 using RSA key ID C3110611
Good signature from "Petar Tahchiev <[email protected]>"
                        aka "[invalid image]"

which looks a wee bit odd...

-1:
The descriptors directory structure is missing from the source archive.
AFAIK, this means that the source archive cannot be used to create a
new distribution.

-1:
The binary archive does not include the Javadoc, but it does include the site.
I think that's the wrong way round.

Also various parts of the site documentation seem to be missing:
resources/
goals.hml
features.html
etc
[Obviously the missing bits would not matter if the site was not in the archive]

The cactus.core.framework.uberjar.javaEE.14-1.8.0-rc.jar contains two
copies of the file:

builddef.lst

which should not be there.

The manifest has versions of 1.8.0, which is different from the other 2 jars.

The cactus.integration.ant-1.8.0-rc.jar manifest version is 1.8.0-rc,
which does not agree with the uberjar.

Not quite sure how one manages the versioning/top-level directory name in Maven.

Need to find this out before creating another RC to vote on ...

Sorry to vote -1, but I think it's very close now.
