I think you misunderstand what "release" means, here. When you do an "ant release" for Tomcat, you are building a complete release for voting and ultimately, publication. If you aren't a Tomcat committer, there's really no reason to be running "ant release" unless a) you intend to actually build a set of release-quality artifacts for Tomcat and b) you know what you are doing. Using "ant -projecthelp" has this to say about the "release" target: release Create a Tomcat packaged distribution The default target is "deploy", which says this: deploy Default. Builds a working Tomcat instance I'm pretty sure that's what you are looking for. > Obviously the release is incomplete if you've added a "skip" option, that's > not a justification for wasting the end user's time. Why is an "end user" trying to do a release build, anyway? -- 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
