Leonard has been struggling with Maven (and I know how he feels). Just some misunderstanding I expect. Unfortunately the files that are in the sync directory on people.apache.org are owned by lu4242 (leonard) and have only read permissions for group. So no-one but Leonard or root can remove them. BTW, this permissions problem appears to be common to many of the dirs (files owned by the deployer with only read for group); I guess the deploy instructions need to be updated to include how to set fileperms correctly. > > > I also see that there is a tag for 1.2.1 in svn: > > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/tags/1_2_1/ > > > > This seems like a bad idea as there is no 1.2.1 release in existence.

I think it *is* bad for there to be a directory in subversion that really looks like a tag for an official release, although the release has not happened. Someone else mentioned that the maven-release-plugin does prompt for the tagname to create. So in the myfaces situation, the release manager really should add "-rc" on the end of the proposed name, as there can be a couple of weeks between the rc being built and it passing the TCK. Actually, I would think that it would be better for the release plugin to add -rc by default. Regards, Simon
