It's a little chicken and egg indeed, if people would massively and all the time re-stage to the same version number eventually problems might happen because of that. But it's in principle only very close to the release that a final version is staged, and then it's quite rare that a re-stage is needed and ever rarer that such re-stage will cause a breaking problem.

Thanks for sharing that POV. It looks a bit safer with that.

The risk is that say GF includes Foo-1.0.0.jar in its binary distro, and then the Foo-1.0.0.jar that gets released to Maven Central eventually differs. So then you got two different Foo-1.0.0.jars out there. 

I didn't express that - but that is exactly what I was thinking about. But with the above - I'm less afraid now.

 

We can now indeed trigger 6.0.0 and do a PR to GF to update to that.

If you need any help, Maxim has performed tasks like this in several projects. He might be able to assist -- unless you've got this all worked out. Feel free to ask / delegate / tell us "we got this!

So for now there are steps that I've already practiced:

- build final OpenMQ 6 + GH release with zip attached

- run TCK

- PR for GF

- update gh-pages branch with TCK results

I'd be happy to do that.

With the next stage - I'd need some guidance, but let me complete the four points above first :)
