Now that the RPM plugin does not depend on uncommitted code in Plexus, I want to make it more visible on the Mojo website so people can find it and use it.
Right now, I have the plugin's site and binary distro in my codehaus home directory (http://www.codehaus.org/~boba/rpm-plugin/intro.html). I was going to "release" version 1.0-alpha-2 (since it seems to work properly for me) and let others give it a try to find out where there are still problems. Where do I need to deploy to make the plugin work properly? I guess the real question is "How do I set up the distribution, scm, and url items in the POM so that I get valid information and can deploy the jar and site properly?" I heard talk of a sandbox parent to hold all of this so maybe I just need to alter the "parent" tag and not specify any of this stuff in my POM. Also, what files should I update (if I can) so that the RPM plugin appears in the list(s) of available plugins? I am referring to the left sidebar of the Mojo project as well as the plugin list in the Maven documentation.
