Is the symetry between local and remote repositories no longer a desgin goal? Isn't it possible to find a solution, which will enable at any moment in time to turn any local repository into a remote repository without any extra effort? This was ofen very useful feature for m1. If I remeber we had workable solution for that for m2. Why some magic strings, which are concatenating timestamp and build number together are used? Would not it be better to directly use a properties file with for example the following (and possibly more) fields: timestamp: 20040101.100011 build: 10 deployer: brett profile: qa Is this solution uniform with another places in maven where pointer files are needed (I mean e.g the strategy how the latest released plugin or another artifact is going to be discovered)?
