Preparations for Samba 4.0 RC1

Karolin,

As you would have seen, I've proposed a date for RC1.  I'm not sure what
your schedule is like, so I'm wondering if I can handle this first RC
release, so we can get RC1 made without undue pressure on yourself?

What I would suggest is:

 - On the agreed date, I'll autobuild the WHATSNEW and VERSION change to
RC1, and make the release tag in the normal way, just as I have for the
betas.

 - I'll upload the tarballs and branches etc as normal.

 - Then I'll hand over the process to you, to work with submitted bugs,
and ensure you have both a release script that works and an
understanding of how to run it.  

 - You would make RC2 (which we will almost certainly need) and of
course the final release. 

This way, I can focus on getting the new release scripts right, without
also needing to coordinate it with you. 

Finally, I know the docs build is a challenge (and a key part of the
release process from what I see).  Do you have any particular insights
into what it needs?  (Otherwise, I'll work it out myself). 

Please let me know what do you think.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
