Question about producing release and hotfixes from support branches #253

Closed stephanedaviet closed 3 years ago

stephanedaviet commented 4 years ago

From my point of view, support branches is equivalent to master but for legacy (supported) versions. I then expect all Maven Git Flow plugin to be able to handle the flow towards a support branch as the production one.

I have tested this command without success: mvn gitflow:hotfix-finish -DuseSnapshotInHotfix=true -DgitFlowConfig.productionBranch=support/1.0.0 -DskipMergeDevBranch=true to finish a hotfix on my branch support/1.0.0 without merging in on a dev branch (no dev branch on support version). But the plugin keep doing actions toward master.

Am I doing something wrong?

@stephanedaviet You need to start hotfix from the support branch.

Feel free to re-open if you still experiencing some issues with this.
