Options for distributing KeyCzar binaries in Maven / Github / Bintray

[Will Sargent]

Still exploring options.  Let me know if you'd rather I file bugs.

The Maven repository file still points to old locations:

https://github.com/google/keyczar/blob/master/java/code/pom.xml#L73

https://github.com/google/keyczar/blob/master/java/code/pom.xml#L238

There is a commented out reference to Maven distribution:

https://github.com/google/keyczar/blob/master/java/code/pom.xml#L292

It looks like you might be able to do Github releases directly from Maven, but I haven't found a solid guide yet.  It seems like

https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/

Uploading KeyCzar to the central maven repo is apparently not trivial, but doable once you get past the paperwork:

https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

And if that's not an option, then using Bintray for distributing binaries may be a better option:

https://veithen.github.io/2013/05/26/github-bintray-maven-release-plugin.html

And then from there you can sync to maven central:

Happy to submit PRs, etc.

Will.

I'm glad to see you're exploring the options. Have you decided what seems like the best approach?

Github releases look like we can upload arbitrary files so I could regenerate the current versions in python, java, and c and upload them similar to how we did releases on google code. 

I don't really know much about Maven so I can't contribute much to that conversation, but it looks like the pending PR could solve that issue.

In terms of pip releases, I have owner access to that and manually update it on release.

A little squeezed right now.  I'm going to work on this next weekend.

I resemble that remark! Thanks for being willing.
