Hrm, ok. But if we release site and pir plugins (which is slated to happen soonish, right?), these people will be bitten by the same problems anyway, unless maven-2.0.10 gets released in the meantime and they upgrade immediately. (And btw, shouldn't versions be specified even for snapshots anyway?)

Yes, people who don't specify a version will be automatically upgraded, when the new releases come out shortly. (Yes, people should specify versions!)

There are two problems with putting out a next version SNAPSHOT before the upcoming version is released. I already mentioned handling bug reports. The other problem is that the first SNAPSHOT (2.0-beta-7-SNAPSHOT in this case) will not get nearly as much real world testing as it should, because a lot of users have already been automatically upgraded to the next SNAPSHOT (2.0-beta-8-SNAPSHOT in this case).

I just wanted to make it easy to test doxia-beta-1, but if this causes confusion, I don't care to remove it (can I just remove a snapshot from the repo?).

It should be possible to remove the jars, but I suspect one also needs to manually adjust the metadata files. I think the sync time for removing is longer than it is for adding.

In cases like this a deploy:undeploy goal would be handy for SNAPSHOT artifacts.

I have uploaded the new snapshots with changed version number exactly because I didn't want to interrupt the release process for site-plugin-2.0-beta-7 and pir-2.1. How come people are already getting these snapshots, I thought they'd have to explicitly ask for them?


If they don't specify a version and have opted to use our snapshot repo, they will get the latest SNAPSHOT. In this case 2.0-beta-8-SNAPSHOT and 2.2-SNAPSHOT.

The only way for them to get 2.0-beta-7-SNAPSHOT and 2.1-SNAPSHOT now is to explicitly specify those version in their POMs.

Subject: Multiple concurrent SNAPSHOTs for MSITE and MPIR isn't working

Hi

Having two concurrent SNAPSHOT versions for maven-site-plugin and maven-project-info-reports-plugin just isn't working. Issues are starting to pour in for the the newest SNAPSHOTs, when we are in the process of releasing the older SNAPSHOTs.

Can we please remove the 2.0-beta-8-SNAPSHOT and 2.2-SNAPSHOT respectively until 2.0-beta-7 and 2.1 has been released?
