note to self: maven differentiates between installing and deploying a package (which might have been built via a mvn package):

• install — just installs the JAR file and the POM file, if the -DcreateChecksum=true flag is provided it will create the SHA1 for the JAR only
• deploy — install JAR and POM and all necessary meta data along with SHA1s

to install a package to a shared repository a deploy is to be preferred over an install as with an install we’ll get missing checksum errors later in life.

so, this works like this (using the lift-ldap package as an example):

$ mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=net.liftweb -DartifactId=lift-ldap -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=target/lift-ldap-1.0.0.jar -DcreateChecksum=true  -Durl=scp://eyeteadee.zurich.ibm.com/var/www/eyeteadee.zurich.ibm.com/maven

for over a year we’ve been meeting more or less once a month or two over lunch to discuss and chat about all things OpenSim — very creatively volker gässler and i called them OpenSim Zurich Lunches back then when. for the past year we’ve been having lunch at the cafeteria of the IBM Research — Zurich lab, this month’s OpenSim Zurich Lunch will be the first time we meet closer to the downtown zurich area:

• monday, january 25th, 12:30h — 14:00h (approx)
• king’s kurry, freyastrasse 3, zürich (close to the train station wiedikon)

so, if you are around, have time to spare, and are interested to meet up with fellow OpenSim-ers, let volker know by dropping him an email — fe11 at gmx.ch — so that we can reserve enough seats at king’s kurry.
