--- Comment #6 from Graham Leggett <minf...@sharp.fm> --- Come on guys, the big exception you get screams "this is broken". Throw the end user a bone and give them a message of some kind, even if that message is "this is intentional". The idea that you have to go off and read some obscure document before you can build something is totally unreasonable. In the automake world I just run "make dist" and I have a release. In the maven world I run "mvn release:prepare release:perform" and I have a release. Obviously the release is incomplete if you've added a "skip" option, that's not a justification for wasting the end user's time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
