Michael Osipov commented on MRELEASE-1073:
------------------------------------------
Looking back at the red/green/yellow listing your provided a branch must never
have a snapshot for a version which has already been released. At least one
components needs to be incremented.
I believe that the following approch works for you:
trunk (e.g., 1.x)
|- branch 1.0.x
|- branch 1.1.x
`- branch 1.2.x
All of them contain snapshots, of course. Now you can create branches from
these branches to please specific customers or customer-agnostic features which
are merged back into parent. Customer-specific branches (e.g., 1.0.x-edf) are
never merged back, but only receive global changes.
On which branch you use a pre-release qualifier it is upto you.

> Before generating a final release, it's often required to publish several
> kind of beta version. When one is validated, it's intended to become a pure
> release.
> SCM aspect:
> * create a tag
> * create a branch (option)
> Process impact:
> * be able to generate a release from a tag or revision
> * be able to generate a pre-release from a tag or revision
> Version number:
> * the version is calculated looking at the scm tags (ex: 1.0-SNAPSHOT become
> 1.0.beta14 if the tags matching the tag pattern have as higher number
> 1.0.beta13)
>
>
> There are maybe some discussion about the version number. Should it be .beta
> or -beta...
>
> I think it would be great to have this feature in the release plugin, keeping
> in one consistent tool all release facets.
