mirrors should allow specifying multiple alternate locations
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3772
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3772
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: Szczepan Faber
In maven 2.0.9, when multiple mirrors are specified with the same "mirrorOf"
value, only the last mirror is used. I would like the mirrors to handle
multiple alternate locations.
Benefits:
-ability to implement simple fail-over system with two mirrors mirroring the
same repo(s)
-increased intuitiveness. Currently, if you have 2 mirrors with the same
"mirrorOf" then the first mirror is ignored. Last mirror wins but I couldn't
find the info about it in the docs.
I can provide a patch if maven guys are interested in merging this improvement
to maven.
