Re: [Jython-dev] 2.7.2 for the New Year?

[<fwi...@gm...>]

Hi Jeff,

That looks right except (as you where guessing) jython.version should be:

<property name="jython.version" value="2.7.2a1+"/>

The plus is a convention copied from CPython that I'm pretty sure
means that this is still in development and is not the tagged 2.7.2a1.
The reason we have a "noplus" version if I'm remembering correctly is
that the + doesn't work as part of a name for the maven packages.

As for tagging:

I think I'm the only one with the permissions on maven to actually
push a package, though I'm happy to share the responsibility :) -- let
me know and I will look into how you get those rights if you want
them. I think anyone can tag a release, but it probably makes sense
for the person who pushes the release to be the same as the one who
tags it.

Thanks for moving this forward!

-Frank
