--------------------------------------

             Summary: Maven metadata is not up-to-date for Velocity 1.7
                 Key: INFRA-12533
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-12533
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Nexus
            Reporter: Claude Brisson


Velocity 1.7 has been published almost six years ago.

But the artifact is in a strange state on the repository.apache.org repository:

 - velocity 1.7 jars *are* visible and downloadable on the maven jar repositories,
   see for instance http://maven.antelink.com/content/repositories/central/org/apache/velocity/velocity/1.7/

 - on https://repository.apache.org , the most recent visible version is velocity-1.7-beta1
   see https://repository.apache.org/#nexus-search;gav~org.apache.velocity~velocity~~~~kw,versionexpand

 - same problem in the metadata :
   http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/velocity/velocity/maven-metadata.xml

I thought of trying to re-publish the jars using something like:

    mvn -Durl=https://repository.apache.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2 \
        -DrepositoryId=apache.releases.https                                    \
        -Dfile=velocity-1.7.jar                                                 \
        -DgroupId=org.apache.velocity                                           \
        -DartifactId=velocity                                                   \
        -Dversion=1.7                                                           \
        -Dpackaging=jar                                                         \
        -Dclassifier=javadoc,sources                                            

But I don't even know if it is the way to go (publication dates would be wrong, the staging artifact would have to be promoted again, etc...), or if it has any chance to work.

All help or remark is welcome.
