+  Maven2 alpha-1 Deployment Checklist
+  ---
+  ---
+  
+  * Convert repository at beaver:repository/ibiblio-v1 to beaver:repository/ibiblio-v3
+  
+  * Re-deploy anything required from ibiblio-v2 to ibiblio-v3
+  
+    Start by changing the <distributionManagement/> stanza for each root-pom,
+    verifying that the <modules/> stanza covers all relevant projects, 
+    committing any changes to pom's, and finally running 'm2 deploy' for each.
+  
+    - plexus (all)
+    - maven-components (all)
+    - marmalade (core, utils, ognl-el, commons-el, ant-compat, jelly-compat ...)
+    - modello (all)
+    - mojos (all)
+    - doxia (all)
+    - wagon (all)
+    - surefire (all)
+    - maven-scm (all)
+
+  * Setup vhost on codehaus pointing to ibiblio-v3 repository directory for
+    testing.
+    
+  * Run test with locally-changed super-pom that references new ibiblio-v3 vhost.
+  
+    When this succeeds, we should be able to shutdown that test vhost.
+
+  * Setup staging directory for rsync from feeder repositories.
+  
+    This directory will be used to bring in the contents of other artifact
+    repositories, whereupon the repoclean utility will be run periodically to 
+    convert them over to the format required for ibiblio-v3 (and dump them in
+    there).
+    
+    The synchronization process should do the following:
+    
+    [[1]] synchronize artifact feeds into the staging directory. [STAGE-1]
+    
+    [[2]] run repoclean on the staging directory, and feed the output to the 
+          ibiblio-sync staging directory. [STAGE-2]
+          
+          This will convert poms from v3 to v4, and directory structures from
+          old layout to new layout.
+          
+    [[3]] clean out the inbound sync staging directory (STAGE-1).
+    
+    [[4]] synchronize STAGE-2 to ibiblio.org/maven2.
+    
+  * Setup synchronization between beaver:repository/ibiblio-v3 and ibiblio:/maven2.
+  
+  * Change the redirect for repo1.maven.org to point to ibiblio.org.
+  
+  * Change the repository directory structure for repo1.maven.org in super-pom
+    to point to /maven2. 
+    
+    This will enable switching from redirect aliasing to CNAME aliasing of 
+    ibiblio repository transparently, since usage of the CNAME method will
+    require the correct URL path (URL rewriting and vhost on ibiblio side are
+    not allowed). Basically, this allows us to keep our options open with an
+    eye toward user support once m2 is released.
+  
+  * Wait for and/or push initial sync to ibiblio:/maven2.
+  
+  * Run test builds to verify new repository access is working.
+  
+  * Weed out the ibiblio-v2 repository to only m2 stuff, and then archive these
+    artifacts in case we need them. Remove ibiblio-v2 directory.
