Also Claus, I found a mixture of per-release-line SNAPSHOTS and per-release SNAPSHOTs in our repo: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/camel/camel-core. Not sure if this is intentional or not.
This is what we have for 2.17.x. I think your expectations are not met anyway? 2.17-SNAPSHOT/ Wed Aug 17 01:28:59 UTC 2016 2.17.2-SNAPSHOT/ Fri Jul 01 17:39:01 UTC 2016 2.17.3-SNAPSHOT/ Mon Aug 08 05:55:48 UTC 2016 2.17.4-SNAPSHOT/ Wed Aug 17 01:25:06 UTC 2016 2.17-SNAPSHOT is actually equivalent to 2.17.0-SNAPSHOT, not "the latest snapshot of 2.17.x", which is what I understood you wanted? Also, doing the .0 on release builds only doesn't help users who want to get the feature repository working with 2.17(.0) while it's still a SNAPSHOT, for example.
