---------------------------------------
Summary: Make SNAPSHOTS more accessible
Key: MNG-7435
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7435
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Christoph Läubrich
As discussed in the context of [another
issue|https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/24285] it would help people to
constantly test and report issues before a release if SNAPSHOTS (and staged
releases of course) are more accessible.
Just form a users point of view, if I currently go to
https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi I see the current release and I can
access older releases but there is no link or hint to upcoming releases.
Even though one could build this from sources, its not always that easy to set
that all up, I think it would be useful if there is an automated process that
deploys the current SNAPSHOT in an automated way (including the binary release)
and on the download page there is a link to this with the hint to help with
testing of "previews" or something alike e.g. for maven4 and maven 3.x.
This hopefully makes it more visible and attract users to just try out new
versions before the release.
