I agree with Dan and Wayne +1 for qualified releases (alpha, beta, RC, etc…) that are working toward the full blow release but aren't intended to be that. -1 for the actual releases. And I don't care if the next 3.1.0-alpha is alpha-2 or alpha-4: what I care is that it is not alpha-1 any more

Thank you Stephen for taking the time to explain. To me, the key critical bits are: 1. The full normal tag is created, and deleted if failed. If the release process fails (as in release:prepare/release:perform) we often have to delete the tag and manually re-run it anyway. 2. The copying process

One more thing to consider: It's a huge change; as if you do not delete, you now have broken 'releases' in a SCM somwhere, and that is radically different to what is currently there. I should be able to check anything out now from a tag, build it and have it work. If we allow broken tags, then

Are you saying that tags for 2.1 and 2.2.0 of Maven itself should be deleted because those versions are broken? A tag isn't a guarantee of correctness/non-brokenness, it's just a *permanent* record of what a particular version contained. The concept of immutability is pretty core to Maven (at

As far as the ASF is concerned, from a legal perspective, the tag is not a release. The only release is the src.tar.gz in the dist folder or the archives. Tags and binaries are simply a convenience for users. Whether that is something that is important to the Maven community is a different

You are the release manager. My vote on respinning specifically stated that any releases in progress, the release manager can decide. If it were me I'd call it 3.1.0-beta-1 as we have had enough eyes by now that its better than alpha... I'd also be happy going straight for the 3.1.0 end game...
