Re: Who is the maintainer of the fop:fop project found on repo1.maven.org?

[Markus KARG]

Actually I never voted for using ibiblio but just added a dependency to fop:fop to my project, while in fact Maven 2.0.4 automatically has choosen to pull it from ibiblio. That's why I said: Since ibiblio is choosen automatically by Maven until manually de-configured, that repository must undergo better quality assurance than any other repository that is NOT already configured in Maven 2.0.4. That's my key point. I do not blame anybody for doing or not doing anything, but I just say that anything that works automatically in Maven 2.0.4 has to undergo the same quality restrictions than maven itself.

You asked about "quality control" previously... The assumption is
that the people contributing builds to Maven are competent enough to
create proper builds with reasonable pom.xml files etc. Ideally
every Java project will eventually take over as maintainers of the
Maven artifact but this is not required, nor is it entirely
reasonable to expect it to ever occur.

You need to know that our company is deeply involved into the business
of quality assurance.
So what you write is wrong. Nobody can rely on others to be
good enough.
You need to control quality EVER.

At this point i stopped reading and I suggest you to stop using ibiblio at all. 
In this case you must build your repository on your own from scratch and I 
advice, that you prevent any of your Maven installation reaching out to the 
internet (since they might access arbirtary repos not under your control).
