Perso what I like with rc mode (or call release branch mode) is the idea about having a separate branch for the rm to release. As it others can continue hacking in trunk. (minor detail: rc naming mode can prevent having to cleanup artifacts from various repo manager chain we are using) Furthermore we usually vote too on sources tarball and some binaries distributions (zip/tar.gz) and users will download those files from Apache distribution download sites. Note there is a process described here (http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/maven-core-release.html) for that. So please include those files in your vote call. >> - Brett >> >> -- >> Brett Porter >> br...@apache.org >> http://brettporter.wordpress.com/ >> http://au.linkedin.com/in/brettporter >> http://twitter.com/brettporter >> >> >> >> >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org >> > > Thanks, > > Jason > > ---------------------------------------------------------- > Jason van Zyl > Founder & CTO, Sonatype > Founder, Apache Maven > http://twitter.com/jvanzyl > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Selfish deeds are the shortest path to self destruction. > > -- The Seven Samuari, Akira Kurosawa > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
