I asked earlier if non-snapshot builds can be deployed to a snapshot repository, and no one answered so I've been assuming/hoping it is possible. >> (because I don't consider them released until QA approval), then I >> want to move those to the release repo after QA approval, why would I >> want the hassle with finding where I checked out the project (or >> worse, check it out again and rebuild it), just so I can deploy it to >> another repo when it's going to be identical, even the version number? > > Different version number 2.4.1-SNAPSHOT would be rebuilt as 2.4.1 when it > is ready for release. No, there are basically there types of builds I want to do. Most people don't have a stage between snapshot and release, so I'm guessing that is why I am not getting any clear direction about the best way to do this. 1. A snapshot build made by a developer that can be deployed to a snapshot repo. Ver = "1.0-SNAPSHOT". 2. A "staging" build made by a build machine. Can this go into the snapshot repo? Ver = "1.0-tag-TAGNAME". 3. A release build. Will be deployed to a release repo. Ver = "1.0-tag-TAGNAME". The artifact will not change at all between #2 and #3. So no, it is not a different version number, and no I do not want to go hunt down where I created the build or have to check it out and build it again so I can redeploy it. So the questions are: * Can I not put it a "staging" build into the a snapshot repository because it does not have SNAPSHOT in the name? * If a "staging" build goes into the snapshot repository, how can I easily move it to the release repo. I believe Anders has already answered that Nexus Pro can provide this functionality, but I do find it odd that copying artifacts between repositories has to be so hard.
