We have danced around the problem of not being able to build Samples,
Plugins or GEP from a clean m2 repo without building the Server's
repository subdir for long enough. I believe it is time to create the
following location in SVN -
geronimo/repo
Which would hold our private patched artifacts of other projects (like
Tomcat, Pluto, ...), just like the OpenEJB team has done for some of
their private depends.
I don't see this as a major hit to the svn infrastructure, given the
jars (10 for 2.2.) will only be downloaded when starting with a clean m2
repo or when we publish any updated depends.
Can you provide some more details on how this would work? Would you
require that the users checkout geronimo/repo rather than
geronimo/server/repo and perform a build to get the artifacts into the
local maven repo? If that is the case, then I don't see any benefit and
it will in fact add an extra step to the Geronimo build process. I must
not be understanding your proposal.

Unless someone comes up with a better solution by Friday morning, I'll
create the new repo branch and populate it with the latest 2.1.2 and 2.2
patched artifacts tomorrow.
