Hi folks Just in case this bites anyone else. Today and last night, I couldn't make a totally fresh Mahout build --- Maven blocks trying to fetch the URL below.
I tested the URL from another machine elsewhere, and the file is available, but the DNS for repo1.maven.org was different. For me, adding this to my (OSX) /etc/aliases fixes thing and get a build for now: 207.223.241.90 repo1.maven.org Is there any way to make maven more robust in such situations? (eg. backup servers to point to, etc.). cheers, Dan (wget log, to sidestep any maven compexity) --2011-08-10 12:44:33-- (try: 2) http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/apache/9/apache-9.pom Connecting to repo1.maven.org|207.223.240.88|:80... failed: Operation timed out.
