with mirrorOf * I just can't have distinct mirror for releases and snapshots, and URL don't change so often ! How can we expect people to be consistent as there is no place to define the official ID of a repo ? Mojo itself uses "Codehaus Snapshots" in site docs and "codehaus-shapshot" on wiki :-/
Maybe a "best practice" could be to have a index.html file at repo root with a suggested <repository> bloc, so that there is some "official" ID for the repo... just my 2 cents 2009/1/28 Brian E.
