It has. It's a parameter called "stagingRepository" (see http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/usage.html). > , just releases and snapshots, and it would be wrong to change the pom so > that the "releases" repository, which most of the time is supposed to be used > as a read-only location from which dependencies can be downloaded, would > point to an upload-only URL that will fail when trying to download > dependencies from it.

Yes that's true, good point: External tools could read that info from our released pom.xml and it should point to the final location, I agree… Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
