But then how do we reconcile the flexibility one gets from working with snapshots? I think someone else on this thread had a good idea; you'd have your CI/CD process automatically cut a release of the core project and all of its snapshot transitive dependencies. Once the released CD build is done, it would then have to revert itself back to a snapshot and all versions of all transitive dependencies that were snapshots back to snapshots. This would definitely require some work but could be done. I think the only loose end we have is the ability to promote a CI build (ie: something built as a snapshot) to a release build. I don't see a solution to that. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
