Maven repository

[Eric Lefevre-Ardant]

Have you looked into hosting official releases of Narrative on some Maven repository? That would definitely make upgrading easier.

Maybe you can even host a repo on your GitHub page?

We have an issue filed in github's issue tracker that says "put narrative in mavencentral", and we expect to do this shortly, but we haven't figured out exactly how to do it yet. Do you know more than us about how to arrange this? Any help would be welcome

All I know about the Maven Central repo is that it used to be slow to host the newest versions of packages, but that might have changed. Also, it is probably not well suited for beta versions anyway, which might be useful for Narrative.

So, my point was that it might be nice to have your own repo, on GitHub or otherwise, so that lazy-but-impatient people with Maven could access the latest version of Narrative right when you announce it.

Or alternatively the Maven Central repo has become more responsive nowadays.

PS: apparently, hosting to Maven Central is done via Nexus? see http://nexus.sonatype.org/oss-repository-hosting.html. That seems to be appropriate for unstable versions, too.

A lot of smaller OSS projects that I have followed/used seem to
utilize the OSS program at Sonatype (http://nexus.sonatype.org/oss-
repository-hosting.html) to push to Maven Central. We could publish
snapshot (or more proper RC) builds there if we wanted to.

I will try to look into it today as an option.
