I believe adding the previous assembly plugin release with:

<descriptorRefs>
  <descriptorRef>src</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>

is sufficient for our plugins. The purpose of the updated plugin is to make it possible to put that in a parent POM without generating unwanted assemblies and ensuring the content is correct rather than duplicating the above everywhere.

To be conform with ASF requirements, I understand that we have to wait the new assembly plugin to be able to produce the new sources distro. There

already 3 or 4 attempts to vote the release and it's not yet ended.

they want to release something.

                                  <descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assemble/source-release.xml</descriptor>

Why isn't this descriptor part of the bundled ones?

When can we add it do the release profile so it gets enforced without
individual projects having to maintain this separately?

You might want to consult the original discussion on this, its rather lengthy, and I'm sure I'll misrepresent it.

The assembly plugin is not apache specific. The assembly descriptor might be. So it's being released as a separate artifact -- see the svn url and that should be clear.

The assembly descriptor isn't necessarily useful without the newest assembly plugin. So the plan is to
1. get the assembly plugin released,
2. then the assembly descriptor,
3. then the use baked into maven projects and thoroughly tested, (other projects can also use it at this point) 4. finally release an apache 7 pom including this assembly config in apache-release profile.

I was hoping (1) would happen monday afternoon, looks like it might possibly happen tomorrow morning -- one problem has surfaced but I'm not sure it's a regression from beta-3.

To hurry this along, if you have a vote, test the plugin and use your vote.

thanks
