Uploading to the mirror system

Uploading to maven repository

I haven't got any really good way to put them in the maven mirrors. The problem is that right now we override the meta xml files, so only the latest version is listed. If we really should do this perfect we would modify meta files like /org/apache/wicket/wicket/maven-metadata.xml and add the version to it (as well as create the hashes again).

But for now this is sufficient:

cd into the directory you have the artifacts which has been voted on.
cp -R m2-repo/org/apache/wicket/* /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/wicket/
chmod -R g+w * /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/wicket
