Karaf Snapshots

[kenwenzel]

Hello,

I want to try Karaf 4.5.0-SNAPSHOT. In the Apache snapshots repository the following artifacts are contained:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/karaf/apache-karaf/4.5.0-SNAPSHOT/

The latest one is dated to "Wed Jul 30 07:24:35 UTC 2025".
This does not seem to be correct.

Best regards,
Ken

@jbonofre Is it possible/allowed to use Maven Central for snapshots?
I use a special snapshots branch in my projects that deploys to central:
https://github.com/komma/komma/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml

[jbonofre]

No, only on the allowed repo: https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/

I just deployed new SNAPSHOTs there, let me fix the weekly build.

BTW the GitHub actions also provide download links in the CI Jobs, but not sure how good the artifacts are useable, for example https://github.com/apache/karaf/actions/runs/28769744862/artifacts/8100465959
