Matthew Corby-Eaglen commented on MNG-3472:
-------------------------------------------
I too think this should be maven's responsibility. Why has this bug / feature
request been dismissed out of hand?
If you had a disk logger or any piece of software creating a tonne of garbage
on your system, you would expect to have a setting or switch which would allow
you to control the amount it creates.
As it is, we have to create scripts to delete the repo, or parts of it, every
so often, which is a royal pain. To me, it does not matter where the repo sits,
I just cannot have it growing unchecked.
Please reopen this issue, and listen to the community.

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by
> setting the maximum number of downloads of a snapshot-version to be kept.
> thus the explosion of local repository size can be reduced.
> especially when you are working with many in-house multi-module projects
