Another m2 incubator artifacts poll...

Just FYI:

There's another thread going on on the general incubator list about where 
incubating maven artifacts should go:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/200705.mbox/<f470f68e0705060457n41fcde80h3d152d74568314c7%40mail.gmail.com>

I strongly encourage Maven experts to chime in and make their opinions 
known.

if there was a vote before and anyone tallied the result, nothing much changed

this needs fixing and once a decision has been made, i'm willing to implement

Then if it's not on people then we can set something up where you can  
deploy directly to central. That's not hard to setup and I would be  
happy to set this up and according to the distribution policies  
you're free to do this.

I've already been told by OSU OSL that they have no room for a Maven  
repository so if nothing can be hosted on Apache hardware physically  
and infra is not willing to help or doesn't care then we can just  
deploy to central. This will actually make life much easier.

Currently on the Maven PMC have access to the central machine but I'm  
sure all of us would agree to expand this group. At some point in the  
future we'll have automated processes to help maintain things, but in  
the short term I would be happy to put you up for access to help out.  
Even if was only to maintain the projects you were involved with.  
This is the only way something like this is going to scale.

I think we would also be happy to give access to folks like Ivy if  
they want to help clean things up. It's a community resource and if  
we're going to clean it up and make it work we'll have to expand the  
set of people we have processing things like upload bundles and  
making tools.

Just send it all to central, we can set something up pretty quickly  
and just be done with this nonsense.

I'll never understand that hazzle about ASL licensed artifacts. I
actually catched myself thinking "thanks god, it depends on Sun
artifacts, which are easily accessible, rather than Incubator
artifacts" in one case. :-(

they don't need to be mirrored: they just need to be in the right
place. this means that they will be properly archived, backed up and
scanned.

the incubator directories could be intentionally excluded from
mirroring but i'm not sure that's worthwhile

No one actually tabulated the result.   In anycase, that vote was 
specifically whether they stay on people.apache.org or go to central.   
Now, infrastructure as mandated that they NOT stay on people.apache.org.   
They have to go to a mirror of some sort.   Thus, the new poll is more 
of the choice between central or the normal apache mirrors.   Subtle, 
but important, difference.

I already did the last time we had a vote. What was the result of  
that vote and where is there another poll?

Why was the last vote not definitive?
