Looks like the current fear of many things means we won't put the configuration in ASF parent for now until parent learn by real experience how it works well: next ASF parent POM release will use plugins versions that are able to support Reproducible Builds, but won't configure a timestamp to activate the feature. It will be an opt-in option for projects that like this idea.
Perhaps in a later version, experience will be sufficient to configure the timestamp by default, and always keep the opt-out option when some project has issues > > Emmanuel Bourg > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
