I suspect that this is because you are not using remoteTagging=true for your release, so it is trying to create the tag from the working copy.
the pom is not really designed to handle more than two valid scm connection urls (1 is the at least read-only url and the other dev connection is at least read-write) when making a release you really should be using the connection specified in the devConnection part of the scm section. for svn, setting remote tagging to true should work around your issue somewhat. -Stephen On 19 October 2010 23:02, Phillip Hellewell <ssh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Both of these point to the same place: > My working copy URL: svn+ssh://usern...@addev/svnrep/components/core/trunk > My SCM URL in the pom: scm:svn:http://addev/svn/components/core/trunk > > I'm getting this error when release:prepare tries to create a tag: > svn: Server sent unexpected return value (405 Method Not Allowed) > in response to PROPFIND request for '/svnrep/components/core/trunk' > > It should be using /svn not /svnrep, because it is talking to the HTTP server. > > I sniffed the packets and found that for most of the DAV operations it > is using /svn as it should, but for this one where it goes to create > the tag, it's using /svnrep.
