Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-6898:
------------------------------------
Would need a committer to create a new branch in svn for this and then I can
fiddle with getting the right directories and pom modifications going.
Wanted to do a branch so people don't pull down binaries/tars whenever they
download the hbase source.
> Use branch to host custom build artifacts

> Key: HBASE-6898
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6898
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jesse Yates
> Assignee: Jesse Yates

> Based on conversation here:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-dev/201209.mbox/%3CCAPcDmSvS-MpZLGXU0gpYUYz9JoqghcZEngML_JYEtWPCXhYvAw%40mail.gmail.com%3E
> In short, we should have a single, committer accessible and audit-able place
> to store custom build artifacts for HBase.
> Occasionally, we need to build custom artifacts for HBase that haven't made
> it into the upstream projects. In the past we have hosted them in various
> committer's people.apache.org/ publicly visible object hosting sites (which
> just need a certain file structure to work as maven repositories). While the
> best course of action is to get the upstream projects to release a version
> with the change we require, this is not always possible immediately and for
> the short term we need the modified artifact.
> This ticket would add a branch to the hbase source and update the pom to
> point to the apache visible svn tree to act as the pseudo-maven
> respositories. This gives us a low friction, auditable, committter accessible
> place to upload custom build artifacts. They can also be easily removed as
> the upstream projects release new versions.
