I think I got way ahead of myself. I'm testing some of the configuration now.
I misunderstood your email and thought that I could say (in pseudo code), "this archiva instance mirrors these 10 repositories, point your settings.xml at this internal proxy and you're don" instead of having to define all the various mirrors. -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 2:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Choosing which repositories you install to On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 10:35 AM, EJ Ciramella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > One of the goals of using archiva is to simplify what repositories > people have configured in their settings.xml, ideally, they'd only be > pointing at archiva. > > The question is, if this is the case (a single entry), and we have a > snapshot repository, how do you properly do a mvn deploy:deploy and have > a snapshot go into the snapshot repository and an official release go > into the release repository? Repositories that you retrieve artifacts from are different from repositories that you publish to. The former are configured in <repositories> and <pluginRepositories> usually in settings.xml, while the latter are inside <distributionManagement> which is in the pom. You can see an example of distributionManagement in the ASF organization-level pom: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/pom/trunk/asf/pom.xml When you deploy, Maven will automatically choose between the distribution 'repository' or 'snapshotRepository' based on whether the version number ends in -SNAPSHOT. (You can try this out by adding distributionManagement to a sample project and deploying to file:///tmp/releases vs. file:///tmp/snapshots by changing the version number.) -- Wendy
