I’m trying to build `daml-on-sawtooth` against a snapshot release but can’t as the packages aren’t available in the maven repo. Or am I getting the version numbering wrong here?

```haskell
[INFO] ---------------< daml-on-sawtooth:sawtooth-daml-common >----------------
[INFO] Building sawtooth-daml-common 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT [4/7]

```

Edit: Actually I do see other snapshot versions available on [https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/daml/ledger/participant-state-kvutils\_2.12/](https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/daml/ledger/participant-state-kvutils_2.12/), just not this one ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/daml/original/1X/f97f8de005b59c73cbe786fd20885da0f7ee0fc3.png)

Snapshot versions are available on Maven but two things changed in 1.0 (and in recent snapshots)

1. All packages now have `com.daml` as their group id and the artifact id has changed.
2. Maven artifacts no longer have a version number incremented by `100`.

So for this particular artifact, you need to use [https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/daml/participant-state-kvutils\_2.12/](https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/daml/participant-state-kvutils_2.12/)
