This problem has been solved and is no longer valid. Any repetition of the old news is total fud. We have for many months now been providing proper source releases for EVERYTHING in the maven project and just recently promoted the same to the Apache pom making it automatic for any Apache project with the new pom. See links below for more info: http://old.nabble.com/Update-on-ASF-Release-requirements-ts23379350.html#a23379350 http://old.nabble.com/-VOTE--Apache-%28parent-POM%29-version-7-ts26221188.html As far as I understand the requirements, this issue is completely resolved so lets stop saying that Maven produces incorrect releases. It was never an issue with the tool itself, but as a project we've fixed it and are sharing it to all projects at Apache using Maven. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
