> I'm not sure if this has already been taken into account, but this is something we would like to achieve using Apache Archiva:
>  * a snapshot build is published to the snapshot repository;
>  * the snapshot passes the integration and QA testing;
>  * the delivery team qualifies the current SNAPSHOT as a release candidate and triggers a copy of the artifact to a staging repository (promotion to staging);
>  * after further testing in a production-like environment, the artifact is promoted to the release repository.
> Apparently, there is no imperative functionality implemented for promoting an artifact. There is though a functionality that mirrors a snapshot repository into a staging, but that pulls all the snapshots into the staging repository, or at least this is my understanding. However, we would like to manually (API calls) add only particular snapshots to a staging repository.
> The rest call to copy the artifact to a staging repository fails due to the artifact is classified as a snapshot.
> A workaround is to drop the snapshot restriction on the snapshot repository and remove the SNAPSHOT suffix from the version.
