Howdy, I now have all the requisite bits and bobs (thanks strachan) for a little server that can process upload requests in an automated fashion but I wouldn't mind a little input on the contents of the archive uploaded and some ideas on the workflow and security related issues.
We can easily make a plugin to assemble the archive so it include the artifact in a JAR format, the license and whatever else is needed. The artifact can easily be extracted and pushed to ibiblio along with the license and anything else we need. If we can push through this quickly I will get the app up and running and remove the bottleneck of having the limited number of repo admins processing the requests. Hopefully this will open the flood gates and allow anyone who wants to push artifacts into the central repo and this should also help with pushing POMs into the central repo which will be required for transitive deps. -- jvz.
