It's moving to the Sonatype Labs where we will support it.

Hi Jason,

I suggest you look at Mark's NAR work:

I'm talking with Mark to try and make the NAR the standard
way to work
with native code so I highly recommend you follow the way he
has named
binaries as part of his work in creating/maintaining the Free High
Energy Physics libraries.

I'm actually going to try and bring all his work to the
Sonatype forge
and do a bit of work to get some new releases out.

Mark has been naming artifacts based on what he's been calling AOL:

machine architecture(A), operating-system(O) and linker(L)

This is generally the different set of cases he's had to deal with
when building and distributing binaries.

While the NAR-plugin itself is a great piece of software, everybody should recognize that its usage is on its own risk. The biggest drawback of the NAR-plugin is the nearly not existing user support. The only way to interact with the developers is a formum where questions reside often simply unanswered.

Wished the NAR-plugin is here at Apache or at least at Mojo ...

so that everyone understands what is being talked about ... Second,
the separation of the Idea into parts, by dividing it at the joints,
as nature directs, not breaking any limb in half as a bad carver might.
