K. So, is placing a binary in repository/trunk like doing a "release" of the binary? I need to be reassured that we have appropriate oversight by the PMC of these artifacts. We currently have that because the binaries are part of each server release. I'm not comfortable that we currently have that with this scheme. Not saying that it can't be done...
As mentioned previously, the alternative is to release these binaries in a more normal fashion with a geronimo groupid (e.g. something like org.apache.geronimo.repository or org.apache.geronimo.patched- dependencies, etc.). Using this technique, we could follow a more normal release process into mainstream maven repositories (e.g. SNAPSHOT and release repositories), hold normal votes, etc. Anybody see a problem with this process? Beyond doing the groundwork?
