Hi, I think for maven central is sonatype that own the repo, ASF is not in charge of that. So we will no spare much ASF resources. But sparing resources is not bad at all.
I'm not sure we can use ASF infra to cache that somewhere. Should be carefuly asked. VM are for us serving apidoc but serving huge file for each install may be an issue. I have more question 😃 (and very egocentric view by the way). Do we need to have a mavenindex generation per NetBeans version ? per platform using java clusters (ok this is my use case)? Per user ? At university every NetBeans, or java based platform for each student download index, as index is too big for hardrive (cost 20% of student capacity) it's removed each week to avoid account soft lock. If thoose index could be cached at university level that would be awesome, saving lots of time. If nothing in index is user privacity involved. To me as task can be long, asking first time should be done or a reminder until is done telling you will not have full potential until index run.

I do a lot of testing during releases with userdirs in /tmp - I hate to think how many GBs I've downloaded there. > If I consider there would be (only) 10 000 installations of NetBeans, Let's not be quite that pessimistic! ;-) There have been 1.5 million* downloads of various NetBeans 17 binaries so far from ASF infrastructure, never mind other sources, community installers, etc. Of course, that increases your other figures too! * or 0.5 million unique IPs, so probably somewhere in between - access to stats for people with Apache account at https://logging1-he-de.apache.org/stats/ Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
