----------------------------------------
Summary: fix setting hcatalog version number via the command-line
Key: HCATALOG-598
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-598
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build
Reporter: Travis Crawford
Assignee: Travis Crawford
Fix For: 0.5
As described in the [HCatalog release
process|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/HowToRelease] the
project version number is always checked in with a {{-SNAPSHOT}} suffix. When
producing release artifacts the release version is specified on the
command-line. This seems reasonable as it prevents people from accidentally
producing a snapshot jar labeled as a release.
HCatalog switched to using maven for resolving dependencies and publishing
artifacts, and during this change setting the version via the command-line
broke. Unfortunately maven does not support setting the version via the
command-line (see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-624, which has ~300 votes
and ~200 watchers at this time). We need a mechanism to easily produce release
artifacts and set the version on the command-line.
