Sigh. This is what I get for not reading *closely* (and assuming that things 
were as they were 11 months ago). So Sonatype is in charge of housekeeping for 
Maven Central now?

I'll close my issues on the Codehaus JIRA and re-open them on Sonatype's JIRA, 
then.

Maven Central Repository & Bad Checksums

2010-12-02 Thread Scott Parkerson
Once upon a time, I filed a JIRA at Codehaus: 
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-641. Eleven months elapsed before someone 
finally fixed the checksum metadata to match the jar in the repository. 

Yesterday, I filed another pair of issues: MEV-675 and MEV-676. I was wondering 
if I have to wait another 11 months before they are addressed.[1]

Who is handling these? Is there a labor shortage on handling these issues? 
Furthermore, it would seem that automating this process would be the answer, as 
it probably wouldn't be difficult to crawl the repository and check checksums 
and either (a) add them where they are missing or (b) fix them where they are 
there and are incorrect.

If there's a need, I'll volunteer to do just that.
