Btw, Gradle is looking into the same thing and they do have to build something. I forget where I read it, perhaps in the roadmap for the upcoming release.

"Starting work on the Gradle Plugin Portal to improve the experience of publishing and using 3rd party plugins with Gradle."

I like the ideas of using Github Post Receive hooks to keep the repository up-to-date, not sure how that really works too well with Maven since ideally addons would be released before they are published. The thing with JS is you don't have to "build" it.

I find these various combinations of custom registries fascinating -
all so damn flexible but makes it more or less impossible to have a notion
of a registry/stream with custom patches.

i.e. maven have mirrors and qualifiers for this; rpm's has arch and distro type (and repo lists);
how does something like this works in things like jquery and forge world ?

This is not a bitching question btw. i'm honestly interested in finding out how it can be done
without too much manual fiddling.
