We actually already do this, and this was available last year. It's documented on ScreenStepsLive here: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...aven-artifacts. There will be some updates to artifacts available in 2017, detailed in my design doc here: https://github.com/wpilibsuite/desig...eneration.adoc. The gist of it is that we'll be using real version numbers, and using 2 maven repos instead of 4, one for public releases and one for WPILib developers (although technically, there's nothing stopping you from using it). In fact, GradleRIO (https://github.com/Open-RIO/GradleRIO) already used the repo last year.
