Hi all, I've just found this thread as a result of checking through the wiki page I wrote on getting started with Archiva.
Thanks to Wendy for added a quick comment or I would have not know there was an issue. I think this whole episode just highlights the problems with not having proper releases. Here the users are at the mercy of the developers. Should something get changed or worse, broken, then it's the users who suffer, not just the developers. Plus it makes it far more difficult for documentation authors to update wiki content because they cannot mark changes against versions and thus have to put comments in like "if your software is older than ..." and "try this or this or this ..." etc. I think it's time archiva was given proper releases with version numbers and change logs. It's time binary releases are put on the web site so users who just want to use it can download, setup and be assured of the functionality they are getting. So that next time someone makes a mistake or changes something without realising the implications, ordinary users don't get burned. I"m sorry if this sounds like a rant, but I seriously disagree with development source code being presented to users as the only way to access and use software. ciao Derek brettporter wrote: > > Joakim, > > Was this something that was changed? > > - Brett > > On 28/01/2007, at 9:37 AM, Wendy Smoak wrote: > >> On 1/27/07, Brett Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >>> The instructions are incorrect - you acccess via the /repository/ >>> URL, which can be configured inside Archiva to proxy an external >>> repository.
