Ok so Lets talking about what the goals for a Apache Repository are.
I propose
* ASF Repository shall
o only host artifacts approved by a PMC
o be accessible to the public via http
o be mirrorable.
o allow browsing and downloding of artifacts by humans via
normal web browser
* ASF Repository should
o provide metadata about a project,
+ its components
+ its dependencies
+ its artifacts
+ list of version available
+ url's to find specific versions of an artifact.
o Provide tools for the management of the project metadata
o Allow for low cost maintance by hand without tool support.
* ASF Repository shall not
o Host any artifact in violation of a license, or IPR.
