DNS txt record for maven central authentication
Hello fine admins,
As part of making a nice integrated developer experience for mobile development with arti (eg. onionmasq, torvpn, the guardian arti integration work), the Tor Project needs to have a Maven Central account. Maven Central is library and artifact repository that is used for everything that is Android and Java.
In order to get control of the org.torproject
namespace there, we need to authenticate ourselves by inserting into DNS a TXT record that Maven Central will check to validate ownership.
The TXT record is temporary, once its validated, we can take it out, the record value should be OSSRH-88490
which is how their documentation indicates that this text record is the same as the JIRA ticket number for the request
