[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOCUS-13?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Mickael Istria commented on LOCUS-13: ------------------------------------- {quote}when I used other builds using reproducible version qualifiers it was not possible to build without committing all code first. Very tedious to work with.{quote} This is not really an issue with reproducible version qualifier, but with Git-based timestamps, that we've already been using for a year and half in Locus, so this is a separate thing. {quote}For me SNAPSHOT makes perfect sense for a build for testing, but when doing the release we shouldn't ever have SNAPSHOT in this so not sure I follow the problem.{quote} The principle of reproducible version qualifier is that they also reuse artifacts from baseline when available. https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Reproducible_Version_Qualifiers If we put SNAPSHOT in testing, then testing won't consume artifacts from baseline (that wouldn't be SNASPHOTs), and the output would be too far from the output of a release. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
