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.

> We did set up git-based reproducible qualifiers but in the other end, we have the qualifier always changing because it contains the BUILD_NUMBER.
> Those metadata should not be part of the qualifier, but should instead be in a future index.html, or attached to the Maven artifact.
