Hello all, Benedikt and I were chatting last week about how the .tar and .zip distributions get uploaded to nexus during "mvn deploy” and how annoying that side effect of the deployment happens to be. Coincidentally, I just ran across a note that Mladen Turk added at the end of the commons-daemon release guide: https://github.com/apache/commons-daemon/blob/trunk/ HOWTO-RELEASE.txt#L41-L43 <https://github.com/apache/ commons-daemon/blob/trunk/HOWTO-RELEASE.txt#L41-L43> I’m thinking: (1) interesting note, knowing that the problem still exists, and (2) I wonder if there would be community appetite for an attempt at adding better automation to the release process. I’m betting that with a little effort we probably could improve the release experience at least a little. A big +1 to making releases less painful. As long as we want to deploy to both Apache dist folders and Nexus, that might still be a pain. Gary Cheers, -Rob
