Artifactory: Auto-generate archetype catalog?

Edited according to the comment
What version of artifactory are you using? According to this issue, in version 1.3 it is done using HTTP PUT, while in 2.0 it takes the catalog form the proxied repositories.
I'd suggest you open a ticket for artifactory at http://issues.jfrog.org/jira/browse/RTFACT - it's an open source project after all...
Problem
Is there a way to have Artifactory automatically generate the `archetype-catalog.xml` file for a repository? At the moment, I maintain it by hand and publish it via HTTP PUT. While this is doable for our small internal repository, it would be nice to do this automatically, and I was rather surprised it doesn't seem to happen out of the box. Any ideas? Thanks!
