bingo. We are doing this now by requiring valid signatures for anything that comes via oss.sonatype.org or anything i personally approve when i manually process either an upload or a sync request. If it's no good, it don't enable it. We want to automate this so the standard applies regardless of who processes the request...and eventually automate the processing as well. > >> If Sonatype's goal is to sell these tools only for paying customers I >> don't have a bad feeling about that. > > I don't get that impression Also correct. We want to fix the core data in central for everyone, but as I've said before: "fix" means improve the quality of incoming data, it does not mean go back and rewrite old poms etc because this just screws up existing builds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
