What is being recommended?
The main message is that Scala projects should use
gha-scala-library-release-workflow
to publish to Maven Central, as we've standardised on it and it does all the right things:write
access to a repo should be ableto publish a release of the library, at the click of a button.
that need them.
As Scala is not the only JVM-language that we publish to Maven Central- we have several Android/Kotlin projects! - I've tried to make the document generally applicable for publishing to Maven Central, regardless of JVM-based language.
What's the context?
The prompt to do this now comes from our plan to significantly reduce the number of users with admin access to Sonatype to a minimal number - @davidfurey suggested it would be a good idea to have clear documentation for other developers about who the remaining admins are, in the case of an emergency! So this documentation provides that, along with other guidance about publishing to Maven Central.
The Google Drive documents for those details, linked to from this public markdown doc, are not public, but have constrained access appropriate to their audience.
