Hey guys,
Could you be so kind as to let me know what I should be building
today? I currently have branches\1.1 and am building that. If I
want a 1.1 server to play with, do I build from there or from
trunk\ ?
you have 1.1[-SNAPSHOT]. Trunk is 1.2-SNAPSHOT
thanks and good luck :-) with all the outages
Thanks David,
Yeah, I see a distinct lack of snappiness in the build process this
evening. Many long, drawn out, pauses punctuated by shorter pauses.
These outages, are they easily explainable? :)
I guess it depends on what you mean by "easily" and "explainable". I
think that all the repos we depend on are underpowered and
overwhelmed. I was actually referring more to the recent sequence of
hardware failures at all the open source repos I know of -
sourceforge, apache, and codehaus. However I'm afraid that the
current maven model of trying to download artifacts from a list of
single remote http servers during a build has reached its limit and
is proving to be essentially broken. There are a lot of obvious
changes most of which would make it considerably more reliable:
-- asynchronous downloads, a process sits there trying to check for
newer snapshots all day and night, so when you actually try to build
you don't look at remote repos
-- bittorrent wagon, so all people who have an artifact participate
in making it available
-- parallel checking of all repos
-- someone paying for a reliable geronimo-only repository.
However I'm not in a position to implement any of these. Hopefully
m2 will be better, maybe they already have (1) with the proxying
solutions.
thanks
