OK. So can anyone of the Maven devs explain, what files have to be checked remotely so I can create patches for maven-proxy? Are only the metadata*.xml to be checked again or additionally the *.pom files ?

For those who don't like to set up another webapp/tomcat for the proxy, I
wrote a small perl skript that works as a standard cgi-skript.

Just the metadata by default, but the poms can be enabled for refreshes.
It'd probably be best to always reget the checksums, and if they've
