I whole heartedly agree that this is indeed a problem. During my tenure at 
Capital One I repeatedly got poor reviews for making contributions to the ASF, 
even though I had gone through their trusted contributor program. It’s almost 
as if I had to hide my open source contributions from my employeer. I think 
this problem is far deeper and more systemic than people think it is at first 
sight.

The odds of my being there are fairly high given that its a 2.5 hour drive from

Re: [jira] [Created] (COMMONSSITE-107) [release-plugin] Adding incorrect RELEASE-NOTES.txt file/directory to scm.

2018-03-16 Thread Rob Tompkins
This doesn’t preclude anyone from using commons-parent 45, as the 
commons-release-plugin is disabled by default. Further it can be used in 
staging, you just manually have to commit the files to the staging distribution 
location by running an “svn commit” from “./target/commons-release-plugin/scm”.

I will finish the commons-text, commons-rng, and commons-validator releases and 
then go back and work on another version of the commons-releas-plugin and 
commons-parent.

Cheers,
