-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I agree that the issue belongs in MEV, but we still need to ping the httpclient people to take action. In the past, I've done this by emailing the dev@ list for the project, and asking them to take a look at the MEV, so that users can access their project from maven.
We're trying to square away our upload/submission process, and we do have a policy in place for maven 1. However, the requirements - most notably, on project metadata - for maven 2 are more stringent. Currently, we're performing an automated conversion of the maven 1 repository to try to provide a starting point for improving things out there. Admittedly, this conversion is rough at best, largely because of things like active components of m1 poms (driven by project.properties, for example), entities, and other junk that worked fine in the lax environment of m1. Cleaning this up will take effort on all fronts, and that means putting pressure on projects to help us provide a conduit for reuse of their project. Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I think in general we *are* trying to track these things in jira/MEV, since it's centralized. We just need help in running down the resulting MEV issues, and getting the correct information to fix them.
