That simply isn't true. Where do you get these things from? I'm fully cognizant of what is involved in making this scalable. As I've said time and time again nothing of a distributed nature will be possible until the real collection of POMs happens and a mechanism that reflects the support for multiple repositories is in place for POMs that can't be pushed into the public eye. > The whole "everything in one repository on the planet" approach is > flawed. I never said I wanted the only repository to be the one at Ibiblio. Clearly evidenced by support for more than one repository and the active search for other mirrors. You claim yourself to use repositories other than Ibiblio. But a single cohesive reference repository is necessary. That doesn't mean it has to be the only repository. I would urge you to refrain from commenting on things you don't fully understand and I'm trying to be polite this time because you're going all out on the FUD. > That's what I'm saying for four month now.

Henning, I'm sorry but you do tend to complain a lot about things you either don't understand and it's primarily because you don't ask any questions. As a result you spread misinformation and I therefore tend to get highly pissed off with you and then I ignore you. Yes, the documentation should be better but I have started adding to it and it's been getting better, possibly even approaching moderately useful. So try again and explain to me what you have been saying for four months and I will try to answer it this time. I'm not sure what is limiting your ability to build. I thought you did just fine with your own corporate repository. > Regards > Henning -- jvz.
