Yeah, thanks, I got the hint from your commit message :-) Would you mind adding a note to this wiki page to that effect (perhaps towards the top): http://wiki.apache.org/commons/CreatingReleases It may save others some time. Finally, if the process on that page works for you as well (it works for me), I'll draft something similar for the Commons site. I wanted another data point before I did that. -Rahul > Cheers, > > Siegfried Goeschl > > > Rahul Akolkar wrote: >> On Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 5:58 PM, <sgoes...@apache.org> wrote: >> >>> Author: sgoeschl >>> Date: Sat Dec 13 14:58:27 2008 >>> New Revision: 726285 >>> >>> URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=726285&view=rev >>> Log: >>> The release plugin simply fails >>> >>> +) it seems that the new tag is not created immediately >>> +) during the release the changelog is generated which fails to access to >>> EXEC_1_0_0_RC1 since it does not exist at the moment >>> >>> As far as I understand the problems it can't work so I falling back to cut >>> the rc manually >>> >>> >> <snip/> >> >> Trying to understand what went wrong -- the tag won't be created in >> dry runs but should be otherwise.
