Fixing bad metadata for old Commons M1 releases

Hi

I had a look at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-443 to try and fix 
the meta data, at least for some Commons components. The releases in the 
Central repo for both commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient and 
commons-lang:commons-lang come from the Apache M1 repo. It seems that 
the M1-to-M2 repo translation does not update the metadata properly. 
What would be the best way to fix the metadata?

I was thinking about downloading the metadata files from the central 
repo. Then modify them locally, so that they contain the correct 
versions. Finally adding the fixed up maven-metadata.xml files along 
with checksums here [1] and here [2].

you can do that for the existing subdirs in
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/
Any other subdir that you need to add, for old stuff that is still m1,
we would need to add it to the sync

I could give you my word as a Spaniard.
No good. I've known too many Spaniards.
