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.
If the only difference to snapshot releases is the name of the jar, I
don't understand what's actually so difficult. Isn't it possible to grep
the svn revision from the "svn up" log?
