At first glance doing a 'mvn clean deploy' inside the spec dir does appear to be pushing to oss.sonatype.org.

I don't see any profiles that attempt to change the <distributionManagement>, so it appears we have some tweaking to do.

We should be able to change the distribution for the spec pom.xml specifically with something like this:

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
      <id>localhost</id>
      <url>file://${basedir}/target/staging/</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
      <id>localhost</id>
      <url>file://${basedir}/target/snapshot-staging/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
  </distributionManagement>

From there, someone would have to copy the `staging` directory where it needs to go.

There are perhaps better techniques, just trying to offer something a step better than "we have work to do."
