Except for the fix to the ROP tutorial where the problem was that we
were presetting the version and that version was no longer available
in the official repository.
It is starting to feel like it would be just easier to commit all the
libraries we depend on to the Cayenne svn....
That would also require us to switch from Maven to Ant (I am already
preparing for the cheering applause to this proposition ... and
having to defend an unpopular Maven build system, as I would most
likely end up being the person tasked with yet another switch :-/)
An alternative, but along the same lines, would be to set up our
own maven
repository. It sorta defeats the whole purpose, but if they're
going to
purge old versions, seems we may not have a choice. Otherwise, how
can
anyone grab the code from any tag and just build it?
I think this is actually the ultimate stance of the maven folks,
too. If
you require that sort of reliability, you should be running a
private repo.
Not much of a sales pitch though.
+1. I can offer objectstyle.org web server for that since we are
already using it for dependencies that haven't been officially
mavenized by their authors, and since hosting third party packages on
ASF infrastructure could be a bad idea.
BTW, maybe we should raise a question of pros and cons of a non-
offical repo for ASF projects on the infra (or maybe maven?) list.
Could get some advice straight from the source.
Ari, do you know if this is common practice? I can see purging
SNAPSHOTs,
but anything else seems foolish.
Yep - totally insane.
