True. So we must either: * change our release process to the maven practice, i.e. vote on snapshots and then release * find a nice way to release things and document it.
Also note that our release process is somehow problematic. The way I did in ServiceMix and Xbean was to deploy the release to a private remote repository at Apache. But when the release is approved, you have to put the content of the repo in the public Apache repositories (at least for XBean, because ServiceMix and ActiveMQ are still in incubation). But if you just copy things, some metadata on the repository are lost :(
From what i heard, maven 2.1 should handle such a release process better,
but i'm not sure how. Cheers, Guillaume Nodet On 7/26/06, Hiram Chirino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I actually think the maven 2 release plugin is a bit of pain. It's not built to follow our release process where we put up release candidates, hold a vote, then deploy the release binaries. It also handles the branching and tagging very differently. On 7/26/06, James Strachan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds cool with me.
