I really don't care what machine builds the release.
Maven is supposed to be able to make reproducible builds so it shouldn't
matter where you build from.

The only problem will be the contents of the local repository (snapshots),
which will be a problem on any machine.

I suppose you're going to do an 2.0.5-rc-1 with mvn release:prepare, which
should make sure only non-snapshot project artifacts are used
(but not plugins). The only way to be sure no snapshot plugins are used
is to disable the snapshot repo from the parent/root pom..

Maybe I'm missing the point - what's far better about performing releases
on a 27/4 monitored box running Linux that also hosts the central repo?

Hi,

I want to call a vote for 2.0.5. All the issues that are going to get done are done. We'll release and move on.

I would like to start building all releases from a standard machine with the same JDK. I would like to propose the maven.org machine which is monitored 24/7 running Linux. It serves as the central repository but can easily handle a few builds. They can be built from that machine and deployed to Apache. I think this is far better then each of us building stuff from our own machines and deploying.

Otherwise everything for 2.0.5 is ready to go.

I will also chop up what's in JIRA into some smaller versions as I think some micro releases for improvements and smaller changes is better then waiting 7 months for another release. If we schedule them out them people can decide whether they want to upgrade or not. But I know there are several things I would like to get in and I know that Mike/Ralph would like to get in MNG-1577 which we can squeeze into a 2.0.6 in a week or two. These are micro release.

Jason.
