Mirrors should not apply to file:// repositories
------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3461
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3461
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Affects Versions: 2.0.8
Reporter: Brian Fox
I ran into some issues recently with the IT tests. I use a mirrorof * to
redirect everything to a repo manager but this is also redirecting the file
based repositories. I can't think of any good reason this should apply to
anything other than remote repos. I have two proposals:
1. Change maven so that file based repos ignore all mirror settings
2. Change maven so that file based repos ignore the wildcard but
will respond if the mirror specifically names it.
I can't think of any reason why a mirror should override a local repo so I
suggest we go with #1.
