common metrics not on maven central

[fommil]

com.twitter.common#metrics;0.0.29 is not available no maven central.

This means that much of finagle cannot be used without adding additional maven repositories: banned in many corporate environments.

@stuhood is this related to the work you were doing earlier? (aka #346 )

[fommil]

Still not on maven central. Can you please add this to central, as it is a dependency of finagle which is distributed on central.

Noting that pants just gained the last bits [1] needed to properly support maven central publishing, so in the next upgrade of twitter/commons to pantsbuild.pants [2] >= 0.0.33 (not published to pypi yet) I'll enable maven-central publishing for the repo.

With that done I'll hand this issue back to a tweep to actually do the publish. Twitter has an internal publishing / consumption scheme that may or may not still include maven.twttr.com and it should be ensured that the metrcis artifact is only published to one public repo for sanity sake.

Any update on this? This makes finagle and finatra unusable.

[jsirois]

All the pants (build-tool) work is done and commons is upgraded to a version that supports maven-central publishing (pantsbuild.pants itself uses this to publish its own jars). The rest is policy / technicality issues for a Tweep to wrangle. I'll pass this off to @stevegury to start with since he's an actual tweep and he's been involved in both finagle and metrics. Steve - let me know if you need any pointers on maven-central publishing setup if you get to the point where you want to publish this from github. I assume though that the publish will be done from within Twitter using their sync of this code.

Correction, I was an actual tweep.
I defer to @kevinoliver @vkostyukov @luciferous

[kevinoliver]

We'll try to take a look into making this happen.

maven.twttr.com has been down for over a day (returning 503s consistently). Would it be possible to publish to somewhere else?

[kevinoliver]

@glasser someone took a look and fixed that. i agree it would be nice if these were published on maven central.

Thanks! Great to see it up again.
