Brian, As I recall, the apparent consensus of the prior thread was to, in fact, turn it off by default for 'asf' and move it to 'maven'. But I'm not the referee of consensus here, you are :-)
My argument was that the global ASF pom should, by default, provide the minimum collection of settings for an ASF project that uses Maven. It shouldn't surprise projects with this profile. Especially via <arguments> and not via useReleaseProfiles. I hardly have to write on this list that someone has to actively move from 8 to 9 to run into this change, so it's not as if it arrives as a magic surprise. I filed the report when I was completely befuddled in setting up maven on a new ASF project and getting the profile's behaviors on release:prepare, where I did not expect them at all. So, as a person who has worked on ASF-wide documentation for using Maven, I'm in favor of a one-time inconvenience for existing projects to reduce the confusion level for new projects. If I turn out to lose this argument after all, I'll just write more documentation. I would also semi-seriously offer the idea of factoring out another layer of parent: asf-settings, that would really just set up the repos, and then asf, which would have the profile. If the patch sticks I need to make a patch to the site doc that I wrote for the POM, since it describes the presence of the profile :-) --benson On Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 8:25 PM, Brian Fox <bri...@infinity.nu> wrote: > Olivier, I think this still needs some discussion.
