Hi all,
I've relatively recently become one of the admins for our Artifactory (Open
Source) 2.3.4 server, and am trying to understand how exactly Artifactory uses
Repository Layout patterns. We've started using Artifactory and Gradle
relatively recently, with some custom Gradle plugins for C++ development. Most
of our repos are set up with the ivy-default pattern, which is as follows.
[org]/[module]/[baseRev](-[folderItegRev])/[type]s/[module](-[classifier])-[baseRev](-[fileItegRev]).[ext]
However, we have a load of artifacts which are missing the "/[type]s" part, so
don't actually match that pattern at all.
It seems, therefore, that Artifactory isn't using it to filter attempts to
upload artifacts. So, what is it using the pattern for? I think it may be
either or both of ...
- Automatic clean-up of integration versions (if configured).
- On-the-fly mapping between repo formats (e.g., Maven and Ivy), because
Artifactory can try to present one repo as if it were of another format.
I think it's NOT used (at least, by Gradle) to resolve Ivy's
"latest.integration" or similar dynamic versions. For that, I think Gradle does
a directory listing, looks through the ivy.xml files for ones with
status="integration" (or milestone/release, since they're "greater"), and
returns the "last" one (in lexicographic order by filename?).
Is it used for anything else? I couldn't see any explanations in the online
manual page about repo layout patterns, and I only inferred the above points
from indirect comments on other pages. Is it likely to cause us problems in
future if artifacts don't match the pattern?
Thanks for any explanations anyone can give, especially ones which point to
official online docs :-)
