Yesterday when I staged the release of 2.5.0 the Shindig Assembly build on builds.a.o started to fail. It was unable to find the 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT artifacts. The only reason why the 2.5.0 Assembly build was passing was because someone published SNAPSHOT artifacts [1] a while ago. After I published similar 2.5.1-SNAPSHOT artifacts the Assembly build started passing again.
Ideally we want the publishing of these SNAPSHOT artifacts to happen often and automatically. Does anyone know if there are any best practices on doing this from Apache? I couldn't seem to locate anything. [1] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/shindig
