Fri, 1 Mar 2024, /Olivier Lamy/:
users will not be able to rebuild from sources.
is it a requirement? No real idea as already said in this thread, you
need to ask Sonatype.
But it breaks the concept of opensource as you cannot build from the sources :)
The sources uploaded to Maven Central are generally not sufficient for a
rebuild. They are convenient for debugging and quick look up, however
one almost always need to go to the project's website, and download full
sources necessary for a complete build. The project's website could be
just a source repository with a top-level README.
I don't think Sonatype has or can have a requirement of "online project
site available". There are older artifacts people still rely on, that
may never be rebuilt because the original sites are long gone. Does it
mean they should be removed from Maven Central, for example? I think it
should be mainly up to the users to decide whether they want to use a
particular artifact.
As far as I'm aware there could be Free Open-source and Non-free
Open-source. I don't know if complete build instructions are
requirement for the latter, and Open-source in general?
