I fully agree with your argument about producing reproducible artifacts.
However I'm not sure what to think when you say 'unofficial release'. A
release is a release, whether we send a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or not.
The only difference to a snapshot releases is that we publish identifiable
artifacts like cocoon-forms-r412334.jar instead of cocoon-forms-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Compare it with a nightly build and producing nightly builds has been done for
ages.
But basically you're right that we have to clarify the situation in general. How
shall we proceed to get an answer to the question of "unofficial" artifact
releases? Is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the position to decide such things itself our do
we have to discuss this issue with [EMAIL PROTECTED] WDOT?
What I'm thinking of is using Continiuum to automatically release our
artifacts once every one or two weeks. Any chance to get this done or in
other words, does M2 support this?
Until we have mastered the manual release process we shouldn't attempt
to give this responsibility to continuum - not that it's not possible
though (i even think it's quite easy to do so).
We obviously have come to the point where we need to seriously start
looking at the release plugin and find out how it fits into our build
infrastructure. I could do some ground work here and document the
process for others to follow, unless someone else volunteers ?
That would be great!
