However, by apache rules we should be voting on staged artifacts, not snapshots. The snapshots don't meet apache release requirements so technically, any vote on them should be an immediate -1. Plus, things like the gpg signatures and stuff are not available to verify and such.

Can you point to some specific Apache rule that says so?

There is actually no specific rule, PMCs are in fact, allowed to do whatever they wish the only condition being the PMC is aware of the release and it is voted on. That said, in the last Board meeting we had a discussion about release processes and many folks thought it strange that the actual binaries being released into the wild are not voted on. Voting on what we are actually releasing makes the most sense to me and the toolchain will get sorted out. Tom fixed the POMs not getting copied btw.

There have been discussions on this topic before, but I have yet to see someone point me to the source for this rule. I don't disagree with the sentiment of this, I just want to know where the rulebook is:)


There is no rule book, it's decided on a per-PMC basis but common practice amongst other PMCs is to vote on final binaries and release those.

Jason.

For Jason's instructions, see:
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html

I'm aware of these instructions. As it is now however, its a PITA to do it that way because of the "contact Jason" part of it. Every release is depending on Jason to copy over the artifacts, because the repositorytools isn't working as they should over scp:. I thought that I'd take a bit of load off Jason's shoulders by doing it the "old way".

Hi,

I'd like to release maven-plugin-tools-2.1. The previous release was
2.0.5.

This release is a preparation for a new release of the
maven-plugin-plugin.

I could not find any project in JIRA where issues for this component
would be, but the differences that can be found between the last release
and SVN trunk are:

- Add support for new annotations: @since for mojos and @implementation
for parameters
- Remove pluggy. It was only for the bootstrap and is no longer needed.

Revision: 514203

A SNAPSHOT has been deployed to our snapshot-repository.

The vote will be open for 72 hours.


Here is my +1
