Bigtop allows us to geberare and smoke test Nutch packages but doesn't formally publish the packages. That is a downstream process. I'm sure we could consult with he Bigtop community on thr best way forward. I haven't published these types of packages before so it will be a new experience for me. I continue to work on the pull request and will update this thread once it is done. At that point in time I may be better informed and able to answer your questions. Thanks lewismc >
