Yes, the "old" way of releasing these artifacts to Maven was to use the
deploy-file goal from the maven-deploy-plugin, like so:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -Durl=file:/www/
people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository
-DrepositoryId=apache.releases -Dfile=<jar> -DpomFile=<pom>
-Dclassifier=<sources|javadoc> # when deploying sources/javadoc
on the same machine as you do the normal release (using deploy-file means
the Maven metadata files get updated properly).
But sometimes people just do a simple copy of their staged artifacts to the
relevant directory under m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository.
I can sort this out for the dependencymanager early next week if you like.
The "new" way, which we'll be using now we've agreed to switch over to Nexus
will be much, much simpler - I'm currently
writing down the new Felix release process (it's very similar to
http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html)
I only put the release in the official location. By the way, why doesn't a

Not exactly sure - but the apache distribution directory is flattened, so
it's not trivial (you'd need to search for poms and then
use them to find the groupId, artifactId, classifiers, etc.) - also I think
people prefer to be in control over what gets published
to the Maven repository and what doesn't...
