Running `mvn surefire-report:report -DoutputDirectory=newpath` as per the example still generates the reports in their normal location (`${basedir}/target/site`). Is this documentation page outdated? Is there any way I can change the output directory without requiring modifications in every repo?

There are a few issues here, first of all use the lastest patch version of your minor Maven version.

The parameter you are trying to set is read-only: https://github.com/apache/maven-reporting-impl/blob/967e756d41c00c123c5c545676b5bffd35918970/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/reporting/AbstractMavenReport.java#L79-L80
the next major version of maven-reporting-impl will fix this: https://github.com/apache/maven-reporting-impl/blob/8464ab92499b37677eadf60ef4661bd9c847b0ac/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/reporting/AbstractMavenReport.java#L87-L88

If you are truly curious please build Surefire from this branch and try again: https://github.com/apache/maven-surefire/tree/doxia-2.0.0

Let me know,

Michael
