[jira] (MRELEASE-721) Release plugin should not operate on current
SVN tunk/branch to create the tag
SebbASF created MRELEASE-721:
--------------------------------
Summary: Release plugin should not operate on current SVN tunk/branch to create the tag
Key: MRELEASE-721
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-721
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: SebbASF
AIUI, the release plugin currently updates the trunk (or branch) working copy in order to create the RC tag.
This is inherently unsafe, as the trunk loses its SNAPSHOT status for a short while.
Also, if the RC fails, trunk has to be reset in order to start again.
A better method would be to check out trunk into a new working copy, update that, and create the tag from the new WC.
This has the added benefit of creating a clean working copy.

---------------------------------------
I'm sure this is a duplicate, but I can't seem to find the original. This is a long standing problem. There has at least been a few discussions on the Maven lists about it.
