Find the staging repository, check that it looks good, and "Close" it. Then "Release" it. This will publish the artifacts to the Sonatype releases repository and start the process of syncing them with central. The artifacts may take several hours to reach central. When finished, they'll be available at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/fcrepo.

...

The artifacts to be uploaded to Sourceforge, as well as PGP signatures, SHA1 checksums, file sizes, etc., can be found at the central Maven repository search site: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Corg.fcrepo.

The Fedora Messaging client can be found at http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cfedora-client-messaging.

For each file, also add a *.asc file, containing the PGP signature for the file, as created by Maven and stored in the central repository.
