release:stage should merge metadata from repository.
----------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-558
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-558
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: stage
Affects Versions: 2.0
Reporter: Antonio Petrelli
Currently the release:stage goal does its job well, except when creating
metadata.
The metadata contains only the version of the released artifacts. I think that
it should:
* download the original metadata;
* merge the metadata with the new one;
* upload it in the staging repository.
This way, moving from stage repository to the release repository is a matter of
a simple copy. This is true especially at Apache.
