This is pretty much the solution we last discussed for inclusion in Maven 2.1.

Right. But if an error is detected in a pom, why does the pom have to be updated. For example, if there is a: foo/1.0/foo-1.0.pom why can't we do something like Gentoo Linux and leave that alone and then add a: foo/1.0-R2/foo-1.0-R2.pom It's stilll "foo 1.0 as release by the foo developers", but its the R2 "update" as far as the maven repository is concerned. If the foo developers produce a 1.0.1, fine. We create a: foo/1.0.1/foo-1.0.1.pom Thus, existing apps and such that depend on the broken behavior are OK and others can migrate to the "correct" poms as needed. Anyway, I COMPLETELY agree that stuff put up on ibiblio as a release, correct or broken, should stay that way. -- J.
