News travels fast... I was going to post about that here this morning :) New repository: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/ m2 can use the m1 structure, but by default it uses a new one. I believe it is almost identical to the one from the wiki (which I can't seem to find since the wiki was upgraded?), with the omission of /$type/ in the directory structure. http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven-components/maven-artifact/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/artifact/repository/layout/DefaultRepositoryLayout.java?rev=1.8&view=markup > 3.

Yes, we've taken that approach, starting with Maven: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/ More about the m2 repository: - all the metadata have been converted to Maven 2's POM format, to the best of our ability - new Maven 1.x artifacts still come in through the Maven 1.x repository, and are automatically converted and synced to /maven2/, so for example ASF releases will be published automatically I think that's all. Let me know if you have any questions or issues. Cheers, Brett
