I believe Archiva will handle a local repository directly since it uses the same format for tracking remote metadata file downloads, which is the main difference. If you have artifacts in the local repository that were generated with 'mvn install' you may get into trouble - removing versions that are -SNAPSHOT (not timestamped) and their associated metadata files (which will contain <useLocalCopy>true</>) will cover these.

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.

I'm pretty sure someone has written a script to convert a local repo
into a remote one-- check the Maven users list archives.
