release:stage should merge metadata from repository. ----------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-558 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-558 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Components: stage Affects Versions: 2.0 Reporter: Antonio Petrelli Currently the release:stage goal does its job well, except when creating metadata. The metadata contains only the version of the released artifacts. I think that it should: * download the original metadata; * merge the metadata with the new one; * upload it in the staging repository. This way, moving from stage repository to the release repository is a matter of a simple copy. This is true especially at Apache. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
