I think the official Maven repository here should suffice and that

the way Maven does this?
We need to make it possible for people to re-build our releases from
source without checking out of svn. That should just mean adding
another assembly to the build that produces the same thing a 'svn
export' would, and has LICENSE/NOTICE top.
That's fine, stick a released POM at the top of the archive or we
could have a plugin that setup a build from a JAR. To pull the POM
out of the JAR so that it could be rebuilt. I don't think this is
technically hard to make individual JARs or assemblies that carry the
information used to build them.
I'm not in favor of using the Maven repo for release distributions
until we get Henk's signature checking scripts running on it again.
Any reason it stopped?
We lost that when the ASF repos moved out from under www.a.o/dist.
I'm sure it's not hard to take the script and run it against the
repository directories.
