IMHO you do not have to check in the 1.5.4-RC1 changes to the trunk. This is what we do in the Axis2/Rampart cases: - We set the branch version to 1.5.4-SNAPSHOT - Create any RCs from the branch, host the artefacts in your ~/public_html/.... - Vote on the RCs - If there are any issues on an RC, do the modifications on the branch and do another RC - Once the vote passes tag the revision of the branch that the successful RC was created as the release with the proper version numbers (1.5.4 in this case) ... In setting the version number in the build files of the tag, you should be able to do an svn cp of the branch with your local changes directly into the tag. This way we won't have to checking any concrete version numbers to the branch. If you are 100% certain we will not see any issues with the RC then it is ok to go with a tag. Otherwise I think we can use the branch. Thanks, Ruchith > > After these steps in subversion, I was going to: > > 1.
