How to publish Fedora packages on Nexus.

What are Fedora packages?

Fedora is an open source cloud computing platform that includes everything you need to build powerful public or private clouds, collaborate on code with other developers, test and deploy applications, and manage continuous delivery pipelines. It's also the name of the community using this platform to create products for cloud providers who want to compete by offering robust software-defined infrastructure. You can even deploy your own cloud for free.

What is Nexus?

The Nexus repository is a repository that facilitates the discovery, access and installation of public artifacts. It supports open source dependencies and references them in Maven-compatible package declarations. The most common use is to resolve a target dependency by hashing a file with a specified MD5 sum and using Nexus to look up the artifact in its local cache or available repositories . It is also possible to combine Maven (and other) metadata with an artifact before publication.
