While we wait for Tony's comments, I'd like to chime in. I sometimes work on projects with a version lacking the "SNAPSHOT" suffix, in particular when a release is imminent. So it's definitely possible to work as you are suggesting. It would save a version change operation between releases but the gain seems marginal as invoking "mvn version:set" or "mvn release" is easy. Moreover, the approach would seem non-standard to new comers. Having said that, if Tony agrees with your approach, I won't object. On 20.12.2012 09:05, Christian Trutz wrote:
Hi Tony,
I propose to use following workflow to version logback-contrib:
1) we don't use SNAPSHOT 2) if a version is "in work", it gets the version of the following next release 3) if a release is ready, we tag this version in GIT
For example:
- Version v_0.1.1 is ready: git tag -a v_0.1.1 - In pom.xml we have version 0.1.2 - many development iterations - Version v_0.1.2 is ready: git tag -a v_0.1.2 ...
OK?
Christian
