apache-release does unwanted things in the prepare goal
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MPOM-1
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-1
Project: Maven POM
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Olivier Lamy
Release 7 of the org.apache:apache use -P to turn on an 'apache-release'
profile in the release plugin. By using -P, this profile is turned on in
prepare as well as perform.
This may turn into a contest of opinion, and you all may just tell me to jump
in a lake, but I think this is a bad idea. At prepare time, we're just looking
to get the versions setup and the tag made. Having to deal with gpg signing,
and source archiving seems out of place.
At very least, I'd request that this the <arguments/> element be left out of
the release plugin spec. If some project wants to use that particular
collection of functions, fine. For the rest of us, who just want to get
distribution management and other universals, you we wouldn't have to worry
about it.
