The same goes for CVS or Subversion or Mercurial and probably various other "source code repositories". If you want to network them you can, but you have to do something extra (e.g. run cvs-pserver or mod_dav_svn or svnserve or hg serve etc.) Things like Debian package archives are the same. They have a particular structure and set of metadata and they may or may not be available over the network (via FTP or HTTP). If you have one locally (e.g. on CD) you can use it without setting up an FTP server or web server, but of course then nobody else can use it from their machine. > In the OP comment, I certainly took repository to just mean "somewhere > you store stuff" and hence it could easily be local... I take it to me "somewhere you can store stuff in a particular structure perhaps with metadata" so that maven knows what's there and how to set up class paths and whatever else it needs to do with it. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
