Hi, I would like to create a release candidate for a first source release of Stanbol.
As some components can not be released because they are not stable or have some license issues, I am thinking about creating a branch and doing the release from that branch. Otherwise we have to remove every component that is not releasable for any reason from the default build process. Either we keep the trunk releasable and move everything else into another Maven profile or we have to work with branches to make required changes and remove stuff that should not be released. Another problem: For a release all components need to get fixed versions (without SNAPSHOT). For a big source release we can not use the Maven release plugin for this. I have to set the versions by hand. If we do a release from trunk, we need something like a code freeze. By releasing from a branch people could keep working on the trunk. What should we do?
