I use the manual procedure for creating the SVN tag at: http://wiki.apache.org/commons/UsingNexus#Create_the_SVN_tags_.28Manual_method.29 Then I use mvn package deploy -Prelease -Ptest-deploy to check that the artifacts look OK. Remove the test-deploy profile to deploy to Nexus (sanselan uses Nexus because it is under o.a.commons) I can try a dry-run here shortly, and you can then do the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
