Re: URI Syntax was: Repository
Some artifacts don't like having the full version number. dll for example. I think the DLL name needs to be stable and thus would not have the full version info. For the dll example we can mandate that it has to be put in a versioned zip/tar.gzip If we continue to think 100% generically we'll never hold all the permutations in Wiki, let alone out heads, and we'll fluster ourselves paralysis. It is clear that Java has a set of requirements, a style, that do not fit other languages. We can't do it all. I feel we could/should unashamedly complete our thoughts on Java, then go and recruit some per-language specialists to chime in on their flavour. Maybe we'll have one repository 'class' with per language sub-classes. Let's mature what we can agree upon before we specialize determine what we can't. [If we have a Java repository separate from a C++ one, so be it, but N better than 0. Heck, separate might be easiest management anyway.] Just my two cents... regards, Adam

What should the URI look like The latest URI discussed was http://host/project/version/artifact-[version].ext For example * http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/ant-1.5.1.jar * http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/ant-testutil-1.5.1.jar * http://repo.apache.org/org-apache-ant/1.5.1/LICENSE.txt This is where Avalon keeps jars for the framework similar to the above example (done by Leo after the previous repo discussions IIUC): http://www.apache.org/dist/avalon/framework/jars/avalon-framework-4.1.jar http://www.apache.org/dist/avalon/framework/jars/avalon-framework-impl-4.1.5.jar http://www.apache.org/dist/avalon/framework/jars/LICENSE.txt So it's: http://host/project/artifact-type/artifact-[version].ext host: www.apache.org/dist project: avalon/framework artifact-type: jars httpd instead does this: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/ Please note this URL: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/aix/apache_1.3.26-000964804C00-ibm-aix4.3.tar.gz It could be: host: www.apache.org/dist project: httpd artifact-type: binaries/aix The tar.gz format is more complex, and needs a different version resolution system. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) -

I think I would still prefix it with apache, so that other organizations can follow our pattern with out conflicts. Also allowing other repositories to host artifacts from multiple orginizations. Sounds like a good idea. There is still some naming details to work out. An apache project can be a very big thing. Take the CLI project in Jakarta commons that would be apache-jakarta-commons-cli vs the pacakge name org.apache.commons.cli This is where the previous naming convention breaks for me. site/project/version/artifact-version.type assumes that the 'project' has a single versioning system. Jakarta as a project doesn't. e.g. commons/beanutils has versions very different from commons/logging. *As an example only*, maven treats commons/beanutils and commons/logging as two separate projects. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Blog: http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/ Pub Key:http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/public-key.asc
