Agreed. When I vote on a release, I'm always saying "show me the bits."
In this scenario, it would be nice for the release plugin to have an option
to copy approved artifacts from the staging area to the release area (along
with corresponding signatures and metadata updates) *without* any
modification to the artifacts themselves.
I wrote the repositorytools plugin in mojo-sandbox for this reason. It
has goals to copy a specific artifact (including signatures) or an
entire remote repository to another repository, while merging the
necessary repository metadata.
This is still work-in-progress although Jason already tested it (I
think it was on a Geronimo release ).
