Wendy Smoak commented on MRELEASE-558: -------------------------------------- I'm not sure you'll know the final release repository when the release is staged. And that repo could change in the meantime, if someone else deploys a release. (Say you are working on 2.1 and they release 3.0 after you stage and before you promote.) I think the metadata should be done when the release is promoted. > 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.
