fyi.

We should probably do our releases through a staged process too.

This allows:
1) giving binaries to people so that they can test
2) voting on something tangible and not on sources which can be modified before they're really released
3) ability to rollback a release if something is found faulty during the release

Subject: [ANN] Maven Stage Plugin 1.0-alpha-1 Released
Reply-To: users@maven.apache.org
Reply-To: wsmoak@apache.org

The Maven team is pleased to announce the first release of the Maven Stage
Plugin, version 1.0-alpha-1.

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-stage-plugin/

This plugin assists with staging and promoting releases by allowing you to
copy artifacts from one repository to another.  It currently supports
copying from http|https to scp urls.

You can run 'mvn -up stage:copy ... ' to get the latest version of the
plugin.

(Nothing was closed in JIRA for this initial release, so there are no
release notes.)

Enjoy,
