I have used the M2 approach for compress. It worked, but I sometime felt that the process had control bout me and not otherwise. I also run into several problems, from which most were based on my own enviroment. However, it was no fun at all. Currently I try to build up the release plugin for Log4php project, but this is pretty hard too. At the moment, I am tending to a proper command line plan. There are too much problems I don't understand with M2. @Henri: I don't know what why the error here happened, but I know that you need a clean checkout to make release plugin work proberly. Its not working if you have some kind of files from your IDE in your project. Cheers Christian
