While attempting to deploy the new 2.4 snapshot version of surefire I got somewhat far and then ran into a perm denied for one of the metadata files:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Error installing artifact's metadata: Error while deploying metadata: SCP terminated with error: 'scp: /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/maven/surefire/surefire/2.4-SNAPSHOT/maven- metadata.xml: Permission denied' I just ran all the tests against various testng based maven projects for both 5.1 / 5.5 versions of testng and everything is a-ok and ready to go from a clean checkout of: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/branches/surefire/surefire-collaboration If anyone else is able to either deploy it for me or add me to the right groups it'd be much appreciated.
