status of staging/release updates for plugins?

Hi,

I was pretty confused by the state of the plugin process, and just  
wanted to check:
- should the "remote resources" plugin be in the main configuration,  
rather than profiles? It makes sense for all plugin deployments to  
have that, and is less error prone
- if not, should the release plugin configure itself to add that  
profile?
- what is left to do to make the staging usable?
- is any docs started on this somewhere?

Thanks,
Brett

I told Joakim, not sure if he put it in there.

Sorry, side track - what are the 3 releases? I only recall the vote  
of EAR.

Yes, it worked just fine for me (that's why I thought it should just  
be in the main build).

Right, forgotten about that one. Need to get it over to the dev  
section of the site so I can find it :)

Once I'm done testing it and there are three more releases I'll be  
doing this weekend.

The remote resources setup should be pushed up for anyone at apache  
doing releases. It seems to be working from Joakim's account, for the  
Geronimo releases and the few that I've done so far.

Test the copying tool which I've done for file:/// based urls. There  
is a bug in Wagon which prevents it from working on scp:// based  
urls. Joakim will look at that later.

It's really just setting up your profile, using it and it will be  
passed along in the release plugin when it picks up the active profiles:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/release/trunk/releasing.apt

The remote resources stuff works fine, the staging has only been  
tried once. I would stick with just using the remote resources  
profile with a standard release for your release and when I've tested  
the staging using Tom's copier I'll document that for the standard  
process incorporating John's release report.

Using the "remoteResources" profile with what you're used to will  
work for your plugin release.

Jason.
