Staging the release

[zoe slattery <zo...@gmail.com>]

Hi

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

I started to try to stage the release on Saturday. The instructions 
here: 
http://apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html#stage-release-vote
and here: 
http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/staging.html imply 
that a temporary staging repo should be created at the mvn 
release:perform step. Although mvn release:perform ran successfully for 
parent and eba-maven-plugin no staging repo has been created afaict. See 
here:https://repository.apache.org/index.html#view-repositories;staging

The 'Repository Status' column against 'Staging' on the Nexus display is 
blank, while other repositories appear to be 'In Service'. All I can 
think of at the moment is that the staging repo might ne unavailable - 
but if anyone has any better ideas let me know :-)

Thanks, Zoe
