[build] Maven repository for Geronimo?

[Jan Bartel <ja...@coredevelopers.net>]

I'd like to suggest that we set up our own Maven repository that we can 
use when building Geronimo.

This is prompted by the fact that I've literally been waiting months for 
the Tomcat 5 jars to be pushed up to the main Maven repository over on 
Ibiblio, and I notice a few other people in the same boat. This is 
hampering our progress, and I also think it isn't fair to put the load 
on the Maven committers to copy up every other project's jars to Ibiblio 
in a timely fashion.

Therefore, I suggest we create a Maven repository on one of the machines 
at Apache to which all of the Geronimo committers have write access so 
we can keep it up to date.

I volunteer to do this and consult with Apache people about an 
appropriate machine.

I have been maintaining a mini repository in my apache home directory 
which has just the snapshots that aren't already on ibiblio.  IIRC, 
there a proposed project at apache to create a repository, but I think 
we need an interim solution.  In the mean time I can either upload the 
jars for you or I can give you access to the maven repository in my 
home directory.

After what looks like months of inactivity [this might be an artifact 
of jira reorganization] at the maven upload request jira, it looks like 
some maven upload requests are being addressed in the last few days.  
Since the maven guys have promised an automated upload system some time 
in the future, I'd rather not break their concept of a single 
repository by having an apache specific repository.

Meanwhile, can we continue to use Dain's home directory for our 
asf-compliant jars not available on ibiblio?

thanks
