Hi there,
I'd like to see either an additional goal (e.g., release:deploy) added
to the release plugin or perhaps it can be achieved via properties.
Essentially, as far as I understand it, the release plugin requires
access to an scm repository to commit changes to in addition to
deploying the artifacts to the relevant maven repo.
There's often projects out there, however, that just don't release
their stuff or only provide snapshot builds (e.g., as their primary
build system is ant-based).. yet anonymous cvs/svn access is free for
all.
So, in order to help facilitate deploying psuedo-released versions of
such third-party projects to an intranet for example, it'd be a great
addition to the release plugin in my view if it were possible to take
a snapshot and deploy a release to some repo without the need for scm
commits.
e.g., the goal would be to deploy a 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT, for example, as
5.0.0.1234 where 1234 is the svn version.
I've checked out the source for the release plugin to have a poke
around and it appears that the above would be relatively trivial to
do. Just wondering if:
a) is this already possible? Did I miss something?
b) if not already possible, would one of the main contributors to the
plugin like to add this -- given you're familiar already with how best
to achieve this with the project
c) otherwise, any objections to this or other suggestions?
Thanks.
with regards,
