ok I talked about this on #maven and this is what they came up with .... <francisdb> we are using nexus <struberg> hi francisdb, we are cutting M3-rc1 M3-rc2 etc over at OWB <struberg> there has been a (reaaaaaly long) discusson on the commons list on this topic <struberg> maybe you can check markmail.org for it. I suppose he is talking about this thread or soem related thread http://markmail.org/search/?q=commons%20nexus%20staging#query:commons%20nexus%20staging%20list%3Aorg.apache.commons.dev+page:1+mid:bdjkatfcwukxsugn+state:results <Brian> francisdb, we typically stage rc's for testing but only call votes on the last one <Brian> the final version may end up being staged multiple times with the same version number but using rc's reduces that likelyhood <francisdb> I see <francisdb> so your final version tag might be created/deleted a few times ... So overwriting the tag should not be a problem as the maven guys are also doing that. But indeed before calling a vote we might want to have some rc's inspected to reduce the likelihood of a failing vote Do you agree with this idea?
