Wendy Smoak commented on MNG-4071:
----------------------------------
Why did you choose to make /usr/share/maven-repo a local repo? It seems like
if it were in remote repo format, you wouldn't need any changes for it to work.
> Support additional read-only local repositories
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4071
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4071
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 3.0-alpha-3
> Environment: Debian Linux in particular, any other environment
> Reporter: Ludovic Claude
> Priority: Minor
>
> Work is under way at Debian to support Maven as a tool for building packaged
> software.
> Debian uses a local Maven repository (in /usr/share/maven-repo/) which is
> updated by the Debian tools (dpkg, apt-get). This repository is read-only for
> the normal user.
> It would be great if users could use this repository in addition to their
> local repository in ~/.m2/repo, and it would simplify the Debian tooling.
> In Debian, when building a package you cannot download anything from the
> Internet (to allow repeatable builds), so when packaging a Maven project, the
> --offline option is always used. That means that if you try to trick Maven
> and use file:///usr/share/maven-repo as a new repository, then it won't work
> as Maven believes that it is a remote repository.
