All,

First off, let me apologize in advance to anyone who has encountered 
DSpace Maven build issues yesterday or today.  These build errors 
sometimes occur when running 'mvn package' and look similar to the 
following:

"[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Couldn't find a version in [1.7.0.1] to match range [1.6.0.0,1.7.0.0)
   org.dspace:dspace-api-lang:jar:null"

Unfortunately, our global DSpace Maven settings were accidentally messed 
up yesterday, through no real fault of our own.  Essentially, this 
occurred via a series of issues located during our attempt to release 
DSpace 1.7.0 Release Candidate 1.

During our release, we discovered our old route of getting DSpace Maven 
build packages published worldwide was unfortunately discontinued 
without our knowledge (the third party service we were using just 
stopped syncing with our servers without notifying us).

Because our old release process was ceased, over the past few days we 
quickly migrated to a different route of publishing Maven releases via 
SonaType (http://www.sonatype.com/), so that we could try to release 
DSpace 1.7.0 Release Candidate 1 in time for this week's DSpace 1.7 
Testathon.

This new route via SonaType has now unfortunately backfired on us, as 
SonaType accidentally overwrote our global Maven settings for past 
versions of DSpace software.  This means that re-building/re-installing 
of all 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions is likely affected (unless you happen to 
have a local cache of the previous Maven settings to work from).

(Please note: Although this affects re-building / re-installing of 
DSpace 1.5.x and 1.6.x versions, it will not affect the stability of 
your currently running DSpace repository.  Your existing DSpace 
repository will continue to function as normal -- you will just be 
unable to rebuild DSpace if you are doing local development work.)

We are currently working with SonaType to try to resolve these issues 
for everyone.  We apologize for the inconvenience -- it is obviously 
affecting us all.  We hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.

I'll send an update to this notice as soon as we've come to a resolution.

- Tim
