On a separate issue, as David pointed out some time ago, we have to make the files available at http://www.apache.org/dist/cocoon/ too.

I'd say the jar files (cocoon-core, cocoon-template-impl, cocoon-flowscript-impl, cocoon-blocks-fw-impl) only. The pom artifacts and the archetypes are pretty useless without Maven so I don't think it makes much sense to put them there.

What's the point of uploading jars to mirrors if nothing usefule can be done with it?

Right, a Maven 2 user wouldn't need them but for those that use an alternative build tool, it is the default place where Apache projects put there released artifacts and where people look for them.

Also, reading http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html, I understand that we have to put our releases there, haven't we?

It should at least be accompanied with a webapp archive.

would be great

And source code archives.

right, forgot about the source artifacts.


As Vadim pointed out, the value of publishing all the released artifacts to http://www.apache.org/dist/cocoon isn't high as the usage without Maven requires some understanding of how Cocoon 2.2 works. As there aren't any guides available, the barrier for somebody who is unfamiliar will be too high.

On the other hand I want to work on the guide and http://www.apache.org/dist/cocoon is the official location for all Apache releases.

Therefore I would like to see the artifacts being signed and also released from http://www.apache.org/dist/cocoon.

Opinions?
