Hi Sebastian
I feel deeply uncomfortable about the idea of creating release tags
*prior to* a formal vote for several reasons (the main being the version
tag in Maven's pom.xml). Would it be okay if I created a pre-release
snapshot build and held a vote on it?
Sorry, but the vote needs to be held on the actual files to be
released - AIUI that is the whole point.
I don't myself see a problem with creating a release tag (especially
for a release such as ALPHA4) prior to the release vote.
Create the tag, build everything and ask for the vote. If it passes -
OK, if not, you may need to create ALPHA5 and repeat.
Tags are cheap in SVN.
