Grant Ingersoll commented on MAHOUT-1275: ----------------------------------------- [~sslavic] Yeah, Maven release does create the branch and that is the workflow I usually use as well. The main issue I have, is it seems like the Maven release goal has to rollback things if for some reason there are issues w/ the RC, but perhaps that is just our misunderstanding of how to use the Maven release goal. Please have a look at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAHOUT/How+To+Release to see if our understanding of that is right. > Drop some of the Release Artifact File Types > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-1275 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1275 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Grant Ingersoll > Assignee: Stevo Slavic > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.9 > > > There really is no reason why we need so many release artifacts for the > distribution.
