For the Apache Geronimo project, we publish major milestones to the external repos by publishing to -
   http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/
For snapshots, we only publish to -
   http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/

Just make sure you follow the ASF Legal guidelines at -
   http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html
especially the part about license/notice/disclaimer files, as we always seem to need updates for our releases...

If you have any crypto code included in your jars, then you'll need to take a look at http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html and submit the required paperwork before publishing any new releases.

BTW - I'm not an expert on this, but just trying to give you some pointers...

Other projects call these builds snapshot releases. There is even

+0 It's not obvious that this improves our ability to track down
issues. If it only shows up on a milestone build and not after, does
it matter?

Yes, that is true. I would like to be able to reproduce milestone
builds, but all we really need is an SVN rev number for that -- and
the SVN rev number is now baked into the builds.


And can we streamline the voting process so
that it does not take months to also get a milestone release out. How
can we streamline the process? One way is to NOT require a formal vote
for milestone buildand instead just use lazy consensus.
Don't even vote. Just publish it.

Good, but just for the purpose of coordination, I think the person
making the milestone should at least say "I'm going to make a make a
milestone build this week, anybody object?" And if nobody objects in a
day or so, they should proceed with the build.
