So, whenever we stage a release, Nexus creates a private repository just for that one release of that one item. That's the URL sent around in release votes. You can put that URL into a <repository>, but once the release is promoted, it goes away. What Brian set up is a virtual repository that aggregates all the private repos of this kind for things in our groupId (org.apache.maven). So, if you add a <repository> with that URL, and pending releases are visible to you. This enables a number of interesting things. First, if you put that in your settings.xml, you can now do tests of any Maven release up for a vote without having to manually configure the url of the vote thread. Second, an RM can stage a release of a shared component, and then go ahead and modify something else to use it, and stage a release of *that*. > > Thanks. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
