I went ahead and set up the "nightly builds" Maven repository with Struts 1.2.1 -- see http://cvs.apache.org/repository/struts/
I tried to flesh out the directories along the "idealized" Maven repository, by including 'licenses', 'distributions','poms', and 'tlds' directories as well as 'jars' Not sure if that's right or not, since it doesn't seem to be thoroughly documented; we'll just see.
Anyway, so the two pertinent questions are
1) should this go on iBiblio yet? I'm leaning towards "no" until it reaches GA status. For general reference, the Apache directory "/www/www.apache.org/dist/java-repository" is mirrored to iBiblio, so that when we decide that a Struts release is GA, we can set up that directory and have the release maven-published automatically.
2) what version number should struts-el have? 1.2.1 ? I'm not sure we've bothered with formally labelling it with a release in the past, but Maven really likes things to have versions.
On minor administrative issues, I also changed the "project.xml" file version to 1.2.1 (from 1.2.1-dev) and moved the release tag for that one file so that if someone checks out to the tag, the JAR artifact will have the correct version number.

Hi Joe,
I agree that users should use iBiblio, just said apache repository because it's mirrored.
About the use of the private repo http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/ seems a good idea to me, but it hasn't been already created, nobody has upload nothing until now? Many apache projects still upload their snapshots to the release repository, ending at iBiblio. Should this be told to the projects that had uploaded snapshots to ibiblio?
I am also sure that 1.2.1 should definitely be put at http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/
Regards.

I would argue that it doesn't belong in that location until it is voted a full GA release. Then again, reviewing what seems to be the "official" word on using the Apache repositories (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.commons.devel/39469), it simply says that location is for "versioned releases" as opposed to "nightly builds".
For what it's worth, I think that the intention is not that Maven users would have http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/ as a repository, but rather than they'd use iBiblio, which is mirrored from that. I don't know if anyone feels strongly about it, but that's how I read the previously cited email.
If we don't put Struts 1.2.1 on iBiblio, we should definitely put it at http://cvs.apache.org/builds/java-repository/
I'll do either one, but I'll wait to see if a few opinions roll in before taking action.
