| ## Recovering from a bad release or a vetoed release | |
| Recovering from a bad release actually isn't that difficult. You'll have to delete the bad tag in SVN and rollback the version numbers in all of our pom.xml files. | |

| ### Delete the tag in svn | |
| $ svn del https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openjpa/tags/1.2.0 -m "Rollback release" | |
| ### Rollback version numbers | |
| If you have perl installed you can do this in a single command for example to rollback from 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT to 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT | |
| $ perl -pi -e "s;<version>1.2.1-SNAPSHOT</version>;<version>1.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>;g" \ | |
| pom.xml */pom.xml */*/pom.xml | |
| If you do not have perl installed you can use a similar tool to edit multiple files or edit them all by hand. |
