+1 on deploying snapshots to http://repository.apache.org

Yep, I just updated our snapshot repos to use
http://repository.apache.orgthis weekend.  Although I just realized I
only did it for SMX4 and the
components projects, so I will do SMX3 branches shortly.  Another cool thing
about this repo is that the snapshots url is a group url which is set up to
serve both the new hosted snapshot repo within Nexus, as well as proxy the
old people.apache.org repo.  So if you request a snapshot that is in both
locations, it will prefer the newer one from the Nexus repo, but will fall
back to the people.apache.org site for projects still deploying there.

Not sure if you have the link, but they have a process to follow and a Jira
issue to link to here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1896

Cheers,
Chris
