After 24 hours I've had a chance to regroup my thoughts (Dennis L's line of questioning parallels some of mine as well).
We have the following goals: 1 - Move our poorly managed "bertha" repository to be a retired (but still available for downloads) repository. 2 - Proxy all other repositories (and set up at least one additional mirror for each). 3 - Create new managed repositories for our projects (one snapshot and one "release" repository for each). 4 - Reduce the amount of configuration managed by maven 2 consumers. Ideally, if people had an entry in settings.xml for a repository, it'd be a single entry pointing to archiva (is this even possible?). In the various projects, via <distributionManagement>, we'd configure the two repositories for the projects (snapshot/release). We only have (and likely will only ever have) two real projects so there will only be four active internally managed repositories. Is this even possible? Will we have to roll our own maven 2 installation (utilizing the conf/settings.xml to load repositories)? Thanks again Wendy for putting up with my questioning, I'm really hoping Archiva will be the silver bullet I'm looking for. -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 3:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Choosing which repositories you install to On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 12:36 PM, EJ Ciramella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So apparently, what's blocking is the lack of a user/pass combo. > > I have the guest account enabled, do I have to go through and add all > the server configuration (where I can supply this)? For deployment? Server credentials go in settings.xml, see http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.8/maven-settings/settings.html. Make sure the server id in settings.xml matches the repository id in distributionManagemnt. If you just want to test it you could give the guest account 'repository manager' permission. If you're not using Maven 2.0.9, you'll need wagon-webdav as a build extension, and the url looks like: dav:http://myserver.com/archiva/repository/internal . -- Wendy
