Sointenly!

Currently, they exist in javadoc only.

http://maven.apache.org/archiva/1.0/apidocs/org/apache/maven/archiva/policies/package-summary.html

Note: a policy of "ignored" is the same as "skip", in other words, don't even test the policy.
The "ignored" policy setting is available on all policies.

cached-failures:
cached = policy indicates that if the URL provided exists in the cached failures pool, then the policy fails, and the download isn't even attempted.

checksum:
fail = policy indicates that if the checksum does not match the downloaded file, then remove the downloaded artifact, and checksum files, and fail the transfer to the client side. fix = policy indicates that if the checksum does not match the downloaded file, then fix the checksum file locally, and return to the client side the corrected checksum.

releases:
daily = policy means that the artifact retrieval occurs only if one of the following conditions are met...
      * The local artifact is not present.
* The local artifact has a last modified timestamp older than (now - 1 day). hourly = policy means that the artifact retrieval occurs only if one of the following conditions are met...
      * The local artifact is not present.
* The local artifact has a last modified timestamp older than (now - 1 hour). once = policy means that the artifact retrieval occurs only if the local artifact is not present. This means that the retreival can only occur once.

snapshots:
