My problem is that I am building from sources. My local repository is 
*always* the same, if not newer, than any other. So why does maven 
go looking elsewhere for Isis snapshots? ;) Especially given that I 
don't have cable/DSL - these interrogations take some time (just like 
the docbook build always fetching the DTD resources from the 
embedded URL!).

Am I correct in thinking that if I (locally) change the pom snapshot 
repository to <enabled>false</enabled> (or whatever the setting is), 
then I can (locally) disable any non-local snapshot repositories ?
