Quoting Wendy Smoak <[email protected]>:
In general you can't interchange local and remote repos because the metadata is different. However Archiva is supposed to repair broken metadata, so you can try making a copy of your local repo and pointing Archiva at it as a managed repo.
Thanks for the reply Wendy, I did try that, but it unfortunately doesn't work. Due to bandwidth constraints, I really wouldn't want to re-download everything from the central repo, also, because there's so many artifacts, manually uploading everything to Archiva would take so long.
Hopefully they add this functionality. Cheers, James
