When I started trying to automate more of the release process for 2.0.11, I already did this (moved to a branch now): http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/site/trunk/pom.xml?r1=792808&r2=792807&pathrev=792808 There was general support, but I also split the release notes which raised some concerns. And then I ran out of spare time with my holiday, etc. :) I believe consensus was: - use JIRA as the authoritative source for release notes - support the split structure provided above for posting online (later moving to pull information from JIRA) - also produce an aggregated release notes (I believe for a series, not all releases), which can be done automatically So, options: - merge down just the bits that split into stable / preview versions - fix the aggregated release notes and merge the lot Thoughts? I'll update the branch for current versions. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
