Hi Andrew,
putting back the mailing list in CC, since this could be interesting for
other podlings.

3.2.0-SNAPSHOT < 3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
I'm not sure whether by "<" here you mean "comes before"/"is older" or
"comes after"/"is newer", but based on this (rather old) Maven doc [1],
the following should hold:
for me '<' means 'lower than', so:
3.2.0-SNAPSHOT < 3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT
means 3.2.0-SNAPSHOT is a lower version than 3.2.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT,
which doesn't really fit with the graduation flow
"The default specification should be composed as follows:
<major>.<minor>.<revision>([ -<qualififer> ] | [ -<build> ])
For ordering, the following is done in order until an element is found
that are not equal:
...
* if qualifier does not exist, it is newer than if it does
* case-insensitive string comparison of qualifier
* this ensures timestamps are correctly ordered, and SNAPSHOT is
newer than an equivalent timestamp
* this also ensures that beta comes after alpha, as does rc"
In your case, the qualifier "incubating" should come before "SNAPSHOT".
Are you seeing that, or the opposite?
No no, I have clear where it goes. Although we no longer need it :-)
But that documentation clarifies the issue to me. Now I understand why
artifacts without qualifier (i.e., after graduation) where not
considered newer that with "incubating" as qualifier.
I caused me some troubles today. And I'd expect to many other podlings
before. But now it's much more clear; thanks!
