[maven] developer repostory revisited

In this thread:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?listName=commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org&by=thread&from=563250

The idea of a Maven repository located on an ASF machine was discussed. 
  It seems like something that is doable, and also has been requested by 
the ASF.

I would like to make this happen, but I am not sure what the official 
steps to take are.  If a request has to be made to infrastructure, I 
read that someone from a PMC has to do it.

Here are the steps that I can see:

1) Choose a machine, and create the directory.

2) Choose the URL to map the repo to
(something like maven.apache.org/repository ?)

3) Possibly modify Maven to search this repository as well as ibiblio by 
default

4)  Modify nightly build script(s) to deploy to this directory as well 
as others, so that all nightlies and SNAPSHOTs could be instantly available.

The last time I mentioned this, a few people pointed me to the 
repository@apache.org project, which seems to be defining a 
next-generation repository structure for Maven and other uses.  This 
looks great, but I'm interested in something that will work with Maven 
right now.

I think this is long overdue, since Apache projects that have been 
released for months are still not available on ibiblio.  We need an 
easier way.

Anyone else interested?  How can we make this happen?  Thanks for any help!

Matthew, this is a good idea, but [OT] for commons-dev.   It  has a much 
larger relevant audience in Jakarta.

Move the discussion over to general@, and let's get the discussion started.
