Who said I was stopping anyone from participating in how the Maven repository is structured, or used or otherwise administered? I'm not stopping anyone from participating. Nicola jumps out of nowhere, starts a project that completely replicates what's already been done and I'm supposed to jump for joy and clamour to be a part of? I am not stopping anyone from participating. Nicola once argued to keep JARs in CVS and now all of a sudden it's a fabulous idea not to store the JARs in CVS. What a revelation! The repository is accessible via HTTP, no one is being barred. The design and structure of the repository is discussed on maven-dev but that doesn't mean the repository can only be used by Maven to build. Nicola has already stated they are using the repository. > Maven is a nice tool - and I wish it good luck wherever it goes. > But if Maven charter will include the creation of a maven-only repository - > I hope at least some board members will vote -1. It's not a Maven only repository. We built the whole infrastructure and did _all_ the work but anyone can use it if they so desire. I choose not to participate with certain people and they choose not to pariticipate where every last single stroke of effort has been made to set up the repository. Don't start twisting reality. Didn't Nicola say they were already using the Maven repository. What is stopping anyone from using the repository? It's not like we're using a client to download the artifacts and blocking non-maven clients. > Costin > > > > > > -------- Original Message -------- > > Subject: Maven as a top-level apache project > > Date: 06 Feb 2003 12:20:32 -0500 > > From: Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Reply-To: "Turbine Maven Developers List" > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Organization: Zenplex > > Newsgroups: gmane.comp.jakarta.turbine.maven.devel > > > > Hi, > > > > As I've just gone through the process of getting db.apache.org of the > > ground I would now like to attempt to do the same for Maven.
