That is not how we have done it in the past. We have never done it that way. When releasing beta8, we originally created the tag log4j-2.0-beta8. When the vote failed, we renamed that tag to log4j-2.0-beta8-rc1 and re-created the tag log4j-2.0-beta8. The vote on that tag passed. This is clearly shown in the source control log:
- /logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8-rc1 was copied from /logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8 in r1501987 with the comment "Failed release" - /logging/log4j/log4j2/tags/log4j-2.0-beta8 was copied from /logging/log4j/log4j2/trunk in r1502001 (newer) with the comment "[maven-release-plugin] copy for tag log4j-2.0-beta8" ... I'm doing this like we have always done it. Nick On Feb 9, 2014, at 1:15 PM, Gary Gregory wrote: > -1 > > This is still wrong. The tag should be in the format VERSION-RC#.
