I would think checking out from the tag, and then running release:prepare from
that would work fine for you in this case. It will create another tag, but that
shouldn't be a problem, since you probably want to keep one tag "nightly x/x/x"
and then another tag "release x.x.x" even though they have basically the same
code. There's nothing in the release plugin, as far as I know, that says you
have to be working from trunk.

Image that we are working on the trunk. Every night a nightly snapshot
is created and deploy on a test servers and automatic tests are run
(they can last 4hours for a project).
on date 04 feb. every tests passed.
on date 05 feb. some tests are broken.
But on 06 feb we want to make a release (to install in prod). The dev
started on 05 feb are not finished, and so the nightly of 04 feb should
be released.
To do so, I suppose that release:prepare should be executed from the
nightly tag of 4 feb to remove all snapshots dependencies, tag the
release with an official tag, etc... The release prepare should create a
branch from this tag to do it ?

I don't understand what you are asking. release:perform doesn't do
anything
else but runs deploy (and site-deploy) on the newly created tag; after
release:prepare, the release is already cut. If you want snapshots, why
don't you just deploy uniquely versioned snapshots nightly?

In the nightly version, there still have the -SNAPSHOT versions. So I
can't use release:perform to do it. I realy need to execute the
release:prepare from the nightly tag.
All projects here ask for this feature. I think this is a very good
feature to be able to release an "unofficial" version that is entirely
tested.
It seems strange that nobody has asked for this feature. All of you
always create a version from the last commits files of the trunk
(integration branch) ?
Is it possible to make an evolution of the release plugin to support
this
?

Hi Benoit,
Yes I think so. Well I know you can release from a tag made with the
release prepare. The command is
mvn release:perform
-DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:file://your-url-here/tag-name
Look at page 224 of better builds with maven for more details

Hi,
I think that we should be able to perform a release from an old
nightly
tag rather than do it always from the trunk :
Every night functional tests run on a project A. On day "d" everything
works, but after, I decide to add a feature and I broke the trunk. I'd
like to be able to release the project in it's state of day "d"
without
losing the work I done. This could be useful in some cases.
Is there already a way to do it ?
