NONE use this crazy format of -vc*. Most Apache release are voted on. Please stick with common stuff, dev, alpha, beta, pre. For releases there should be NO additional suffix. > On Wed, Oct 3, 2018 at 7:06 AM László Kishalmi > <laszlo.kisha...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I meant: I'm not sure that we need to vote on this.

Examples of other Apache release that were voted on and released without crazy tags.... You can see Votes https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@maven.apache.org/ No crazy -vc tags.... https://github.com/apache/maven-resolver/releases https://github.com/apache/maven/releases Some more apache projects https://github.com/apache/tomcat/releases https://github.com/apache/ant/releases https://github.com/apache/commons-pool/releases https://github.com/apache/commons-logging/releases I have never seen any Apache project use -vc for tagging a vote candidate. They may exist, but the first time I recall seeing this was with Apache Netbeans. Can anyone find another Apache project that has -vc tags? If not then why is Netbeans doing this? This is what I had to do for 9.0. Nasty hidden change of version. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo/blob/master/eclass/java-netbeans.eclass#L17 I have to do something similar for 10.0-vc1. Which I also have to add some other prefix, as I cannot use 10.0 -> 10.0-vc1 like I do for 9.0. As 10 is not fully released, there maybe another 10.0-vc*.... On github seems like 9.0 was never released.... What is the difference between 9.0-vc* and 10.0-vc* ? Which one the release? Which one is just a voting candidate? https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/releases If you must continue on with -vc tags. Please create another non -vc tag for the actual release. You can have more than one tag for a given commit. But really the -vc stuff is just confusing. It seems only Netbeans is using this odd format. It is not standard. -- William L.
