Java version?

Operating system

What happened?

Downloading the source-release zip file for Apache Hop 2.17.0 does not work like it does in previous versions. Maven Central is showing that md5/sha1/sha256 files for this artifact were published.

I use this artifact to reconstruct a final client zip file from the assemblies pom file, so that all dependencies are pulled from my maven proxy service.

Edit: It appears that some 2.16.0 dependencies for the client assembly are also not published. 2.15.0 is the most-recent one I can successfully build from the hop-client assembly pom file.

Reference:

• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/hop/hop/2.17.0/
• https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/hop/hop/2.16.0/

Nothing changed for the builds between 2.16.0 and 2.17.0
I think it might be a policy change on the staging nexus the ASF uses to block zip uploads and only publish the jars.
The sources placed there aren't the official sources, https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hop/ is the only location for official ASF sources.

We also don't push the zips that are needed for the assembly stage of the client. Running those poms separately will no longer work (or hasn't worked for a couple of versions). You will first need to do a full build from source and push all artifacts to your local maven repository.
