Respinning a release is work; changing the release number is busy work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_work ;-):) Yeah, I'm fine with doing it this way - it's just that most of the other projects I'm working on at Apache do it the way I described. But that's no problem. We can do it "your way" :)The only technical problem I see is that we use the mvn release plugin to create the release and this one automatically creates a tag.
One of the irritating things about maven, IMHO. But does this mean you can't fail a vote and respin the same release???
Anyway, discussion is good. As a mentor, it's not my intent to tell the podling how to do things. It is my intent for the team to think about how they want to work and to do it with intent.

But we can invoke the release plugin from your suggested release branch, it creates the tag and we just remove it by hand afterwards - not that nice I know. Perhaps there is a better way.Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
