setting up rsync remote repo and release questions

[Mark Diggory]

I'm following the guidelines located here and trying to prepare our  
repository to be rsynced into the central repo.

http://maven.dspace.org/release
http://maven.dspace.org/snapshot
I have a few questions.

1.) by "release" do you mean that only true versioned releases (not  
snapshots) can be rsynced to the central repo?

2.) We have our own compilations of apache cocoon, lucene and other  
various jars (bouncy-castle, jena (hp) which we need to maintain  
slightly customized for our project. we keep these under our  
org.dspace groupId, is it ok to place "releases" of these third party  
jars in our groupId space?

      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>jena</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>handle</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>jargon</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>mets</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>bcmail-jdk15</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>lucene</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.dspace</groupId>
         <artifactId>tm-extractors</artifactId>
      </dependency>

thanks,
Mark
