DK created MRELEASE-838:
---------------------------
Summary: Creating a branch from a tag does not work
Key: MRELEASE-838
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-838
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: branch
Affects Versions: 2.4.1
Reporter: DK
Priority: Blocker
I'm trying to use the following command to create a branch from an SVN tag:
mvn release:branch -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateVersionsToSnapshot=false
-DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false -DbranchName=MyBranch
However, it makes commits to the tag which it shouldn't and also updates the
version and dependencies in the branch pom to the latest SNAPSHOT.
I also tried:
mvn release:branch -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateVersionsToSnapshot=false
-DupdateDependencies=false -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false
-DsuppressCommitBeforeBranch=true -DbranchName=MyBranch
And this fails with:
[ERROR] Error resolving version for plugin 'maven-release-plugin:2.4.1' from
the repositories [local (/root/.m2/repository), central
(http://nexus.forge.avaya.com/content/groups/public), ace_special
(http://nexus.forge.avaya.com/content/repositories/ace_special)]: Plugin not
found in any plugin repository -> [Help 1]
I think this is a pretty major bug.
