So I have 27 releases of XStream unzipped and pushed to https://github.com/paul-hammant/mc-xs-classes
(8.4M of Jars is now 2.4M of bare .git repo) All the jars are still available - here - https://github.com/paul-hammant/mc-xs-classes/releases Perfect except: 1. .zip suffix instead of .jar 2. there's a pesky root folder inside the zip, that matches the tag name (GitHub's policy I guess for downloads). 3. the signatures won't match those for the originals up on 'Central. I want to fork (experimentally) maven-dependency-plugin (it's in Subversion now, but the fork should be on GitHub of course), and sprinkle in some https://github.com/zeroturnaround/zt-zip in order to (1) rename the zip on download from GitHub, and (2) remove the root folder inside the zip without a mechanical unzip/rezip ... then put theresult in ~/.m2/repository/ as normal. There's probably some pom.xml creativity needed too. Any takers? - Paul
