Clean up maven repository
-------------------------
Key: MNG-4104
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4104
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Environment: All
Reporter: Oskar Carlstedt
Hi All!
The Maven repository is getting bigger and bigger and I think there must be
some restrictions when adding components (read jars, wars,ears etc) to it. I
tried to make a mirror via rsync and got a lot of example wars, example jars
etc. Why are there war-files in the Maven repo at all? Why does Geronimo have
all their jar files in the global maven repository? Wouldn't it be better to
have a spearate repo for non-util products like Apache Tomcat, Apache Geronimo,
JBoss, etc., etc.
I agree to the fact that the repository shall contain most of the components
you might need in your development but I don't need war files, I dont need
example files and most probably I don't need app server jar files. What I need
is software components from the repo - not fully functional programs that I can
download from resp. vendor page. These fully functional program files are
taking up so much HD space and is probably a huge reason why a rsync process
will conatin synciong for hours.
So my question is - is there a job to be done here or am I just wrong (crazy)
in my opinion above?
Kind regards
Oskar Carlstedt
