Hi,
I’m working on an application at the moment, where we use jetty as the
container for geoserver and assemble this with the war and necessary
plugins into an installable container which we use in a microservice
architecture. For this we need access to the wars and the plugins (*.zip
files) available, but I don’t see that they are published to the repository
at repo.boundlessgeo.com
Would it be possible to publish the war files and the zipped plugins to
the repository? At the moment we’re having to upload these manually to our
own repository, which is a pain with every version upgrade.
Also, the extra zip files created for the plugins might they be added to
the deployment by using the maven assembly plugin? This would reduce the
dependency on the shell scripts for a complete build and deployment. I’d be
happy to supply a pull request.
I cannot talk in terms of extra space consumption on the repository
(Boundless will have to speak up), but in terms of getting things done, an
open source project is a do-ocracy,
if you are the one doing the work of changing the release scripts to get
the deploys done (they are in git too), personally I won't complain 
However, I would like to point out assembling zip and wars is not the
recommended way to create a customized GeoServer,
you should take web/app, copy it, change its dependencies to fit your
needs, and build it to get the exact war you need.
When you need to create a new version, just update the version number,
rebuild, done.
Cheers
Andrea
