Michael Osipov commented on MRELEASE-938:
-----------------------------------------
Well, you basically need a multistage {{maven-asf-release-plugin}}. I guess
that the general plugin flow will not change.
> Need better support for staging release candidates with git and Nexus

> Key: MRELEASE-938
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-938
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: waiting-for-feedback
>
>
> Use case:
> An ASF project creates git tags which are GPG-signed named "rel/<version>"
> after a release is voted on. If the release passes, the contents of the
> pom.xml files should refer to this final tag, and not any intermediate
> release candidate tag name.
> To avoid pushing the release prior to building a release candidate and
> publishing it to the staging maven repository, the configuration sets
> {{<pushChanges>false</pushChanges>}} and
> {{<localCheckout>true</localCheckout>}}, and the tag name is created with
> {{<tagNameFormat>rel/@\{project.version\}</tagNameFormat>}}.
> There is still a risk of a release manager accidentally pushing the tag
> created by the maven-release-plugin, which has the final name, but is not GPG
> signed, and should not be pushed, because it cannot (and should not) change
> once it is.
> What might be useful here is an alternate, intermediate name,
> {{@\{project.version\}}} which can be used as the checkout tag for the
> perform step.
> Alternatively, no tag actually has to be created in this case (a GPG-signed
> tag is manually created later). Unless {{suppressCommitBeforeTag}} is set,
> the perform step can check out from {{HEAD~1}}, instead. An option to skip
> tag creation entirely could work under these circumstances.
