The benefits are: * metadata is automatically updated * intercepts all uploads, so cannot accidentally deploy to live repo * automatically checks that signing keys are publicly available * ensures that the artifacts voted on are the ones actually deployed Nexus is automatically used if the gid is o.a.commons. One just has to use "mvn deploy" and the artifacts will be uploaded to the staging area. The extra steps that have to be done are: 1) Close the staging repo once all the artifacts have been uploaded. This makes the staging area visible for release votes. 2a) Publish the staging repo once the release vote has passed. This allows the artifacts to propagate to Maven Central. OR 2b) Drop the staged artifacts, and re-roll the release. > Mark > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
