It's a list where all repository efforts can collaborate, and where
discussions about repo infrastructure at Apache take place. Basically
it's a specialization of infrastructure@a.o

Probably.

Yes at the very least.

AFAIK mostly overlapping.
There had been some discussion with some Avaloners about this before,
when we discussed on the spec.
Concrete proposal if the Avalon Repository effort is willing: we would
be happy to completely merge efforts in the overlapping bits, create
extra codebases in Depot for other bits that we don't have and that come
from Avalon Repo, and make Avalon Repo devs part of the Incubator Depot
Project.
If Repo@Avalon is willing, we would be happy to welcome them here in a
unified effort, as this has been part of the plan all along. Sorry for
not contacting you guys before, we are still ramping up ourselves.

Personally I say yes. My opinion is that since Ruper can use that
repository already there is no reason why not take advantage of it now
and move one step at a time. IMHO the move to use the new repository@a.o
proposed layout can happen at a later phase, all in synch.

I'd like to also add that there is also a duplication of content between
the "Avalon Repository" and the contents of the
/www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository (Maven Repository) which are
used to publish all Apache content now to www.ibiblio.org/maven and
provide alternative mirrors of the Apache Maven Repository content.
I believe we (repository) are now considering this as an option for the
starting point for the ASF Repository?

I'd like to also add that there is also a duplication of content between
the "Avalon Repository" and the contents of the
/www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository (Maven Repository) which are
used to publish all Apache content now to www.ibiblio.org/maven and
provide alternative mirrors of the Apache Maven Repository content.
I believe we (repository) are now considering this as an option for the
starting point for the ASF Repository?
