I have setup maven.geotools.fr as a mirror of list.refractions.net/m2 using "rsync" and it seems to work. However I have done that in a test directory for now, not yet the actual maven.geotools.fr/repository directory, because of some issues I have:
* The current repository on http://list.refractions.net/m2 seems to be a copy of some local repository, instead of files put there by "mvn deploy". I'm not sure that this is what we should do. For example local repository uses gt2-xxx-SNAPSHOT filename, while the remote repository (as managed by "mvn deploy") replaces "SNAPSHOT" by a timestamp. * The Refractions repository has strange versions number. For example it contains Geotools release versionned as "2.2-RC4-SNAPSHOT". Is it really correct? I would expect "2.2-RC4" and "2.2-SNAPSHOT" as two separated direction. For example compare http://lists.refractions.net/m2/org/geotools/gt2-referencing/ With http://maven.geotools.fr/repository/org/geotools/gt2-referencing/ * The Refractions repository duplicates some files already present on Ibiblio. For example postgresql, commons-lang, etc. Do we really want to duplicate Ibiblio? I admit that Ibiblio is often unreliable, but we need to connect to that only for new dependencies. I would like to suggest the following approach: * We rename the current "m2" directory into (yet an other) "old-m2-repo". * I send to someone (Richard?) a ZIP file containing the whole repository currently on maven.geotools.fr, which is (I think) a little bit cleaner and also has more history (2.2-RC1, 2.2-RC2, etc., which are not on the Refractions repository). Richard would just need to unzip it in a fresh "m2" directory. I can't do this step myself, since WebDav doesn't seems to work on my Windows XP machine. * If there is some directories that need to be preserved (e.g. "org/geoserver"), we copy them from the "second-old-m2-repo" to the new "m2" repository. * I perform a new synchronisation of maven.geotools.fr. * Insist that all future JARs are added through "mvn deploy" or "mvn release", not by direct copy-and-paste in the repository. Does it make sense? Martin. Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
