I just did some checks in our distribution area [1] and found a good number of missing releases In addition to asking committers to remember our procedure [2] (and ask for PMC help if necessary) , I just thought it would be good to have a little tool to check against latest artifact releases: with a little config file giving groupId:artifactId and directory in dist, it could check if latest version from central metadata [3] is actually published in dist and warn if not.
This is a first step, since a lot more help can be added later, I have a good number of ideas (download the new release, propose svn commands to remove old releases and add new ones, check consistency with site, ...) But I don't want to code it right now and prefer concentrate working on maven- site-plugin, dependency:tree and so on related le future Maven version. I thought this could be a good opportunity for someone to do somthing without having to learn too much on existing code. Is there anybody interested?
