Marcel, after reading [6] for myself, it seems like you are correct, beta releases should go to the distribution repository. I opened a ticket for the infra team to allow the Shindig project to leverage svn pubsub to push our releases. Hopefully that won't take long, if it ends up taking a while it looks like we can upload them manually and I can certainly try that, although I have not done that before. (I am a relatively new committer so I don't know all the ins and outs yet.) Thanks for all your help!

My point is that every release (that gets voted on and succeeds) should end up in www.apache.org/dist/shindig as that is the official location for all releases. This location must include all sources (anything else is pretty much optional) needed to build Shindig. > Not sure if we need to push the beta release artifacts to the dist > site (http://www.apache.org/dist/shindig/) I think you should (please read [6]). A release is a release regardless of its version number. You mention these releases in your reports to the board as well. > As for building it, you can grab > https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public/org/apache/shindig/shindig/2.5.0-beta1/shindig-2.5.0-beta1-source.tar.gz > and after extract it, run mvn clean intsall to build and to test you > can simply run mvn -Prun which will run embedded Jetty. Ok. My point is that this is the artifact that should probably have been in the official location. > I sincerely apologize for delay of updating the Shindig site, we are > in transitioning of contributions from the old guards of committers to > new ones so some bumpy experience may be in order. Thanks for your efforts, that's definitely appreciated.
