Not sure if the question of svn tagging was answered here. I was
definitely interpreting 'No releases' to mean 'No distributing' and
not 'No tagging'. The idea of developing without being able to create
tags/branches is bizarre to me.

release early, release often!

i understand and agree with the reasons behind the 'no releases rule'
but wonder whether team labs may need to consider how they will
interpret this rule and offer some documented guidelines.

people disagree about what a release is

IMO a release is fundamentally just a line in the sand: a tag in
subversion. what matters is the source. everything else is just
packaging.

so (for me) a literal reading of the 'no release' rule excludes all
tags from the apache repository

this leads on the issue of offshore tags and releases. one approach
for those who need releases would be to use subversion to create
offshore tags. a more radical approach would be to cut releases
offshore.

given that maven requires released dependencies, i suspect that these
issues are going to have to be tackled sooner or later.

opinions?
