Re: [hibernate-dev] HHH-12172 - Bintray v. OSSRH

Personally I'm neutral. I surely wouldn't want to manage our own Artifactory, but since JFrog will do that I'm not concerned about the platform management being horrible. Artifactory looks better, OSSRH has the benefit of possibly having better integration with Maven. There are some benefits on staying to JBoss's nexus though; not expressing a strong opinion but let's clarify these. # Stats We need download statistics, which I understand they all offer, but an absolute number is not as useful as being able to compare the numbers in one dashboard across various others of our projects. Also not looking forward to have to login to multiple systems to gather it all. # Quality control of artifacts I'm understanding that JBoss Nexus does several strict validations on our poms; sure they have been in the way as it's not nice to see such failures *during* a release but there's an upside to them as well. AFAIK OSSRH also has similar rules, but the JBoss team one has different ones, plus a deal with Sonatype to deem our stuff good "pre-approved" so we don't have to satisfy the Sonatype rules too. # Signing Also I'm understanding that to release on OSSRH we need to sign all artifacts; not a bad idea but it's quite more papework and key management. Such paperwork is handled for us by the JBoss Nexus team. We'd need to install GPG on our release servers, get a organization RSA key signed, and people stubbornly releasing manually will have to create a key each, and have it approved by Sonatype.

Not against migrating if this is what you all want - just making sure we're keeping these into account.
