jdcasey helped a bit on IRC, thanks.
I think the documentation on this is really unsatisfactory. At least
I can't find anything by googling. John pointed be to the maven
release instructions http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/releasing.html
which might be OK for maven components but are a bit lacking as a
guide to best practices for apache projects.
I've opened a jira with a few suggestions for improvements to this
page http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4095
Having the apache nexus instance there is great but I'm afraid you'll
get extremely bad press if the apache 5 pom is out there and there is
no trivially accessible documentation about what the consequences are
of using it. For instance portals recently decided having a root pom
might be a good idea and naturally chose the most recent apache pom as
the parent with no awareness of the consequences about where their
deployments will end up and whether or not any other steps need to be
taken for other portals project release destinations.
thanks

I'm trying to help the apache portals project set up some root

deploys releases and snapshots to the apache nexus instance.
I googled but couldn't find any instructions on how to proceed with
this. I think it would be pretty handy if the maven site had a page
linked from the front page with some up to date instructions. For
instance IIUC when portals releases these poms (to nexus, right?)
all the existing portals stuff also has to be moved by hand to nexus
and all future portals releases have to go to nexus. Or did I make
this up?
Something else I'd find pretty helpful is info on what the
recommended release profile for apache projects is and whether you
even need one or if some default is adequate.
In case anyone wants to review the portals poms to advise on whether
they are likely to work...
