Hi,

This vote is for three POM/artifact releases that are closely related. They all deal with one issue: providing automatic support for a source-release (read: project-sources) artifact during any Maven release. This artifact should contain the exact sources that are actually voted on for ASF releases.

Threads discussing this requirement are here:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200904.mbox/browser


The idea here is to roll this feature out to Maven projects first, work out any bugs that appear, then roll it out more generally to all of the ASF later.

The reason we have three releases to do to get this working is that we need a reliable parent POM with reasonably modern configurations for the source-release descriptor...since apache-resources-2 is ancient and depends on maven-parent-5, I'm hoping we can release something that depends on maven-parent-12 instead.

The apache-source-release-assembly-descriptor artifact staged here should be obvious, as this is the assembly descriptor that provides the meat of this new feature.

The maven-parent release provides the binding of the source-release descriptor into all maven projects that upgrade to a parent version of 13 or higher.

The staging repository for the apache-resources and source-release-descriptor artifacts is here:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/apache-staging-028

The staging repository for maven-parent-13 is here:

https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/apache-staging-029


Please vote: +1/+0/-1

You have 72 hours.

Thanks!
