Michael Osipov commented on VELOCITY-990:
-----------------------------------------
I am against any manual process or patching Maven Release because it is not
broken, the process is broken. From an ASF PoV a release is only source
available in dist.a.o. Everything else is courtesy. This does not mean that the
POM should not be correct. So there are two options:
* Use versions and versions are cheap, drop RC dance
* Continue to use RC, when an RC is accepted reroll the vote for a non-RC
version, perform the release and remove RC tags since they never went to
Central or dist.
In Maven land we never cared about RCs because they cause too much work. See
Tomcat as well, if a version is broken, it is skipped, never released. Make
your life as easy as possible. Nobody pays you for an overengineered process.
Where RCs do work, see FreeBSD project, they go through alpha, beta, rc,
prerelease, but all of them are properly announced and published. See
https://www.freebsd.org/news/newsflash/ and
https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/15.0/.
Either do it right or don't do it at all. From my PoV, no one will create about
any RCs of Velocity.

> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Peter Palaga
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi, I noticed the following issue on recent releases that were preceded by
> RCs:
> The scm/tag is the RC version, not the actually released version that is
> present in <version> and that would match git tag.
> For example, for release 2.4.1, the tag and versions in pom.xml files are all
> {{2.4.1}}, but the scm/tag is
> {code:xml}
> <scm>
> ...
> <tag>2.4.1-rc1</tag>
> </scm>
> {code}
> Could you please adjust your processes next time, to make rebuilds easier?
