francisdb commented on MNGSITE-79:
----------------------------------
6. the settings.xml example should have as profile id "apache-release" instead
of "release"
and you might want to point the user to version 6 of the apachepom
> Release instructions unclear

> Key: MNGSITE-79
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-79
> Project: Maven 2 Project Web Site
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Jencks

> Refers to http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html
> This is AFAICT the de-facto advice on best practices for apache projects that
> want to use maven... if there's more information elsewhere it should be
> linked from here. As such it is sorely lacking some basic info such as...
> 1. It applies to projects using the apache pom version 5 which implies you
> are deploying to nexus. This needs to be stated up front and the
> consequences outlined (e.g. getting someone (who?) to move old stuff onto
> nexus, and what happens to a large collection of projects (e.g. portals or
> geronimo) that may not want to move everything at once)
> 2. if
> <altDeploymentRepository>${deploy.altRepository}</altDeploymentRepository> in
> the release profile is actually recommended please document where the value
> actually comes from.
> 3. In the "Release Process for part of Maven" 1.b it says "Verify that all
> pom.xml files have an SCM definition." I think this is wrong. IIUC only
> root poms in a multimodule project should define scm.
> 4. In the note on the settings.xml server definition of
> apache.snapshots.https please document that it is used from the apache 5 pom.
> Also, I think that the password required is your apache svn password rather
> than a possible p.a.o password. There is at least one other reference to
> logging on to nexus with "apache credentials" that should be more
> specifically "apache svn username and password"
> 5. If this is the de-facto advice to apache projects wishing to move from the
> file based repo to apache's nexus it needs to be findable through google.
> Linking it to INFRA-1885 would be good. Linking from the front page of the
> maven docs would be good. More generic separate docs would be better.
