Brett Porter moved MNG-4104 to MEV-621: --------------------------------------- Priority: (was: Major) Environment: (was: All) Component/s: (was: Artifacts and Repositories) Complexity: (was: Intermediate) Workflow: jira (was: Maven New) Key: MEV-621 (was: MNG-4104) Project: Maven Evangelism (was: Maven 2) > Clean up maven repository > ------------------------- > > Key: MEV-621 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV-621 > Project: Maven Evangelism > Issue Type: Improvement > 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 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
