So what? Releasing software is why this community exists. Any changes to that process need to be agreed by the community first. > If that is wrong > that I screwed it, Sorry Before this change, we could release artefacts to Maven Central. After this change, we are unable to release artefacts to Maven Central since that part of the release process now needs re-writing. That is not acceptable. If there were an security issue that required an immediate release Maven users at best would get the artefacts late or at worst not at all. An apology is a good start but the stuff you have just broken needs fixing. At the moment, I see two possible fixes. 1. Update the release scripts so we can release artefacts to Maven using the new process. 2. Revert the change to use Nexus and return to scp+rsync. If you don't do 1. (pretty much immediately), I intend to request that the infra team does 2.
