Robert, thanks for that. Can I just clarify something please. I may be
mistaken but I thought I had understood that the incubator repo is not
mirrored anywhere. If this is true one could interpret from your response
that publishing artifacts that have not yet been approved to the incubator
repo is a special case. If so it would mean that the difficulties of
moving
artifacts from a staged repo to the real repo would be circumvented.
Regardless of mirroring, an incubator repo implies that it contains
releases made by the incubator PMC. A release candidate as you are
talking about has NOT been made by the IPMC, thus cannot go in that
repo. It should go somewhere private, where you can make it available
just to those who will be voting upon it. Until that vote, it is just a
tarball you happened to make. Once the vote is complete, it is an
artifact that can go into official ASF repositories.
As Robert suggested, creating mini repo in your home directory on
people.a.o is really the best bet.

i'm not sure i know the official answer but i do have a strong personal
opinion
as a release manager, i would be uncomfortable posting an artifact
anywhere that is mirrored before a release vote. there are a couple of
reasons behind this opinion:
* in the event of an IP issue with the release, the manager can only
be helped by apache if they are acting on the instructions of apache.
this is only possible after a release vote.
* i've had bad experiences in the past trying to recall bad releases
from maven repositories
AIUI it would be possible to set up a local repository in your home
directory. others can then configure maven to use this. that's the
approach that i would take.
