Ug... why on earth is Tomcat not just using the standard Maven 2
repos that the rest of us have to use? This is so annoying.
If they just published to m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository then they
would be done already.
wow, you're such a joy to be around ;)
Sorry, this repo stuff is a sore subject for me. I've been trying
to keep things orderly (and limited) and new repos just keep
poping up and into our build. This has been going on for a while
now, though it has gotten better.
Anyways, nothing personal... I am just a little annoyed with all
the repo related issues in whole.
If you remember back, Ant was originally developed to build Tomcat,
so the odds of them dropping Ant are pretty slim. Now they maybe
willing to add the maven ant tasks to publish to the maven repo,
but I suggest you ask really nicely.
I don't expect that Tomcat will switch to m2, though if they are
gonna be publishing m2 repos they should use the m2 antlib for that.
But, looks like the m2 antlib is not up to snuff wrt the new? apache
requirements to publish .asc files for releases. I think the antlib
tasks probably need to be updated to allow extra files to be attached
when install/deploying and then ant folks should be sorted... well,
that and if they implement a task or macro to sign stuff.
Anyways, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, I was just frustrated...
