We've had this discussion before on this list, and I know someone posted a way to convert a local repo into a "remote" repo with some shell scripts.
I'll scan my archives but you can get the general idea from looking at a specific artifact in your local repo vs on ibiblio... home/.m2/repository/activesoap/jaxp-api/ maven-metadata-central.xml home/.m2/repository/activesoap/jaxp-api/1.3/ jaxp-api-1.3.jar (.sha1) jaxp-api-1.3.pom (.sha1) http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/activesoap/jaxp-api/1.3/ jaxp-api-1.3.jar (.md5, .sha1) jaxp-api-1.3.pom (.md5, .sha1) maven-metadata.xml (.md5, .sha1) http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/activesoap/jaxp-api/maven-metadata.xml (local repo maven-metadata-central.xml file looks identical) <metadata> <groupId>activesoap</groupId> <artifactId>jaxp-api</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> <versioning> <versions> <version>1.3</version> </versions> </versioning> </metadata> http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/activesoap/jaxp-api/1.3/maven-metadata.xml <metadata> <groupId>activesoap</groupId> <artifactId>jaxp-api</artifactId> <version>1.3</version> </metadata> The file maven-metadata-central.xml should be simply renamed to maven-metadata.xml in the directory up from the version. Then we need to generate a metadata file with the groupId, artifactId, and version and put it in the directory with the jar and pom. Finally we need to generate md5 and sha1 for all files. I'm not saying this is 100% trivial etc, but its not that terribly difficult, and I know most of it has been handled in shell scripts posted to this list. You can also try setting up a quick Maven Proxy (Proximity), pulling your project dependencies etc through it, and then using the proxy as your remote repo. This is probably the "quickest" solution at this point. Your primary problem is the "quickly" aspect. Cheap, correct, or quick -- your choice, and Maven is already free and correct so you don't get quick. ;-) Wayne On 11/16/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So this sends me right back to Archiva again. Can Archiva convert a local repository back to a remote one or am I wandering down the wrong path? When I ran Archiva on my own development machine as `mvn jetty:run' did not make a repository available, except that Jetty had a bug to prevent this feature working? Everything I have tried today seems to lead to a dead stop, and I just want to get the thing actually working for a client and their deployment machine. -- Peter Pilgrim UBS Investment Bank, PTS Portal / IT FIRC OPS LDN, 100 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 2RH, United Kingdom +44 (0) 20 75 75692 :: Java EE / E-Commerce / Enterprise Integration / Development :: Visit our website at http://www.ubs.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
