I find that I need to "merge" repositories quite often. Someone delivers a bunch of artifacts in Maven repo format, and I want to copy them into an existing repository, updating the metadata as needed, and *not* overwriting any duplicates that are already in my repo. (Released artifacts shouldn't change.)
Would this be a good feature for Archiva? Or would it just be better to write a script that checks to see if the file is already present before copying, and let Archiva fix the metadata later when it scans/updates? -- Wendy
