Hi All: We talk on and off as to how painful it is to release components.
One of these pains is that we distribute to multiple places: An Apache "dist" folder and the Apache Maven repository. Clearly, Maven is here to stay. So why not deploy the -src and -bin files to Maven and forget about dist. A URL is a URL, what do users care is the URL points deep into "dist" or our Maven repo. I for one, need the -bin zips for certain Apache projects (JMeter, ActiveMQ) so my Ant Ivy builds can download and install them. I know we have some legal requirements to host at least the sources and that we provide binaries as a "courtesy" but does it matter _where_ the files are on Apache servers? Thoughts?
