I would agree, but that's not how I understand staging to work at
all.
The Apache projects I work on like to vote on the *exact* artifacts
that will be released to the public, so the staged release must not
have a -SNAPSHOT qualifier.
Agreed. When I vote on a release, I'm always saying "show me the
bits."
In this scenario, it would be nice for the release plugin to have
an option
to copy approved artifacts from the staging area to the release
area (along
with corresponding signatures and metadata updates) *without* any
modification to the artifacts themselves.
Yes, that's what we have just tried with a Geronimo release where the
actual release was staged, Geronimo folks votes and then I merged the
artifacts into the central syncing directory on Apache using Tom's
new repository copier which takes into account merging the necessary
metadata.
