Hi - yes - absolutely. I should have made this a bit clearer but I didn't fully
understand it at the start. Once the release artifacts have been created the

I don't follow your reasoning here. If we intended bug fix releases on these
branches for the components and had (for a development branch) correctly set
the next branch version at 0.2.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT then I would expect that
the svn tree would be all set up for development. Other than the version
(which conflicts with trunk) and our intentions what makes these branches
unusable?
What makes it unusable is that I haven't set it up to be used - by
taking the defaults from the maven release plugin I made it useless.
This is exactly the same in the 0.1-incubating branch. The only reason
we might want this to be set up more sensibly is if we have a
requirement to do a 0.2.1-incubating release because someone finds a
problem with one of the 0.2 modules. That's a possibility and if/when
that happens I'll be happy to fix up the 0.2-incubating branch properly.
I'll certainly add this to the Aries release pages so that we get it
right for the 0.3-incubating release.

I suspect that Zoe accepted the release plugin suggestion that the next version
would be 0.3-incubating. This would be appropriate on trunk but when releasing
on a branch like this it's probably better to add another decimal,
0.2.1-incubating. However I hope this branch is a dead end and nothing other
than 0.2-incubating is ever released from it so it shouldn't make any practical
difference.
thanks

Hi all,
It seems weird that the 0.2-incubaring-RCx branch uses "0.3-..." in
its<version> tag:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/aries/branches/0.2-incubating-RCx/parent/pom.xml
<name>Aries :: Top Parent POM</name>
<version>0.3-incubating-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
Is this intended to be this way?
