Robert Munteanu commented on MRELEASE-431:
------------------------------------------
[~rfscholte] - thanks for the info, I just wanted to know if you'd like any
changes made in the short term. I fully agree that - being published API - we
need to get it right the first time.
{quote} Another thing on my mind: should the API support methods to make it a
major, minor or bugversion increase, or leave that up to the
implementation{quote}
I guess we could, but maybe as part of another utility class, to keep the
VersionPolicyManager API clean. Not sure if that needs to be API though, or we
could simply provide it as a convenience for implementors.

> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8

> Currently, when preparing the release, the version to release is always the
> next version which usually is the current version without the snapshot
> extension.
> There are quiet a lot projects (Apache Felix, Sling and others) following an
> even release numbering policy. So while the current development version is
> odd (like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT), the next released version will be 1.2.4.
> It would be nice if this could be made configuration through some
> configuration property like
> <versionPolicy>next-even</versionPolicy> (with possible values being: next
> (default, as-is), next-even, next-odd
> I briefly scanned through the code and it seems that adding support for this
> requires changes in both, the release-manager and the release-plugin.
> If this feature gets accepted and if someone could give me some minor hints
> how/where to add this I could come up with a patch.
