The purpose of this change is that it fixes the dependencies of Ivy. I see no particular harm here. But as Stefan, generally speaking, I prefer the source release to be an extract of the source repository. So there is no possible confusion. > I guess a minor edit in the build file to make this modified version of > ivy.xml go somewhere under the build folder should address this issue for > this release and the next ones. > > I have not spent myself a lot of time on ivy yet but I would like to spend > some in 2015 - or maybe even next week if my kids are busy out of the house … > > I also know how it feels when one creates a release candidate and some minor > problems are found and one has to again go through 20 steps in a > ReleaseInstructions document … Actually releasing Ivy is quite straight forward, no issues with that. See: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/dev/makerelease.html <http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/dev/makerelease.html> Probably the signing of the artifacts can be more automatic. I have seen there is ant target for that but I haven’t tested it yet. What trouble me more is what is the exact process to push artifacts into Maven repo after the release.

We have to either be patient or actively act on it, depending on our available time. > On Dec 14, 2014, at 5:43 AM, Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> wrote: > >> We should be using signed tags (git tag -s or -u) rather than >> lightweight tags for releases.
