Hello, I just stumbled accross this project. Since I have been working with some other guys on another tool, which pretty much does the same stuff and this project died :-( I am pretty interested in this project. I have been working in the last couple of weeks on a major re-implementation of greebo and I would like to give you an idea on what we where planning. Probably this would give you some ideas of what to implement:
- We too wanted to use VFS - We have had some discussions about repository artifacts (in maven: dependencies) these could be: - jars (obviously) - javadocs - zips / tars - probably even dlls?? - Versioning of the artifacts - some configuration ideas: - one general repository.xml for all projects - one repository.xml for a specific project - a artifact.xml with all dependencies for a specific project Our design of the artifact.xml is pretty close to the design of the maven dependencies. But there are still some possibilities for improvement. I believe that the server should also contain some version information about all artifacts and possibly even a file where a short description and also a hyperlink to the project itself. Basically the current project can be found at greebo.sf.net. This is a very old version and not really useful. If you would like to, I can send later today a .zip-File with the new design of this project (renamed to RepoMan - Repository Manager). This is basically just a design and not a real implementation. I would be more then happy to contribute this to this project. Regards, Marcus M. May
