Staging releases are gone?

[Grzegorz Kossakowski <gr...@tuffmail.com>]

Hi,

I just wanted to finish release process of Forms 1.0.0 and Template 1.0.0 and discovered that 
releases I've prepared and deployed into our staging repository are gone:
http://people.apache.org/builds/cocoon/org/apache/cocoon/

Now I can see only Reinhard's releases. This leads me to question: How clean up of this repository 
is performed?

I'll have to recreate my artifacts ( :-( ) but still would like to know how this works.

I see. Thanks for clarification. Still we are relying on this repository for release process - at 
least in this moment our parent pom contains references to this repository.

I might have try this option next time but for this time I sticked to nightly builds repo that have 
been (successfully) used by Reinhard for previous releases.

For upcoming releases it would be the best to figure out "best practices" when it comes to Maven 
configuration (so it deploys to the correct repository) and document them here:

This is the directory for automated test builds (nightly builds,  
"nightlies"). As such it should contain only build performed on  
previous night (or few previous nights). If we were using, say, ant,  
we could have this builds performed automatically by infrastructure's  
scripts (no idea about maven).

Best place for release candidate builds (files to be voted on) is your  
private (~yourname) directory. After vote is done, you can clean it up.
