Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MRELEASE-721: ------------------------------------------- Summary: Release plugin should not operate on current SVN trunk/branch to create the tag (was: Release plugin should not operate on current SVN tunk/branch to create the tag) > Release plugin should not operate on current SVN trunk/branch to create the > tag > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-721 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-721 > Project: Maven Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sebb > Priority: Major > > AIUI, the release plugin currently updates the trunk (or branch) working copy > in order to create the RC tag. > This is inherently unsafe, as the trunk loses its SNAPSHOT status for a short > while. > Also, if the RC fails, trunk has to be reset in order to start again. > A better method would be to check out trunk into a new working copy, update > that, and create the tag from the new WC. > This has the added benefit of creating a clean working copy. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
