- Snapshot repo: this should no longer be needed since there should no longer be cross-project SNAPSHOT dependencies and therefore there should be no reason to make SNAPSHOT artifacts available via Nexus.
- Staging repo: used for snapshot artifacts built from master and staged for further verification - those that have passed CSIT and are therefore should be valid candidates for Release. The Staging artifacts are used primarily by the Team for their own testing and for E2E Release testing. The Staging artifacts are not meant for public consumption. Once a day, a new clean build is automatically performed. All Staging artifacts have same version number.
- Release repo: this is the place where the project Team (or Linux Foundation Releng Team) stores the artifacts that are deemed stabled for being consumed by the other project teams. Each team decides when to release. It is not expected to get a new release every day. No TSC approval is required for getting a new release artifact.
