Michael Osipov commented on MRELEASE-938: ----------------------------------------- Well, you basically need a multistage {{maven-asf-release-plugin}}. I guess that the general plugin flow will not change. > Need better support for staging release candidates with git and Nexus > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-938 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-938 > Project: Maven Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Christopher Tubbs > Priority: Major > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback > > > Use case: > An ASF project creates git tags which are GPG-signed named "rel/<version>" > after a release is voted on. If the release passes, the contents of the > pom.xml files should refer to this final tag, and not any intermediate > release candidate tag name. > To avoid pushing the release prior to building a release candidate and > publishing it to the staging maven repository, the configuration sets > {{<pushChanges>false</pushChanges>}} and > {{<localCheckout>true</localCheckout>}}, and the tag name is created with > {{<tagNameFormat>rel/@\{project.version\}</tagNameFormat>}}. > There is still a risk of a release manager accidentally pushing the tag > created by the maven-release-plugin, which has the final name, but is not GPG > signed, and should not be pushed, because it cannot (and should not) change > once it is. > What might be useful here is an alternate, intermediate name, > {{@\{project.version\}}} which can be used as the checkout tag for the > perform step. > Alternatively, no tag actually has to be created in this case (a GPG-signed > tag is manually created later). Unless {{suppressCommitBeforeTag}} is set, > the perform step can check out from {{HEAD~1}}, instead. An option to skip > tag creation entirely could work under these circumstances. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
