It's interesting to use maven-proxy for private company repos. If you want to create a public repo, it's preferrable to put in it only yours jars if you don't use a rsync with ibiblio. http://www.bluesunrise.com/maven used by the jetspeed project is an example of a bad repository.
Am I understanding this right : it's a bad repository because it duplicates the content without sync ? I myself want to learn to do this right, so that's why I'm asking all these newbie questions :)
Some projects doesn't use the SNAPSHOT extension and put their files on a repo but this jars doesn't the a complete release(beta, rc, final). If you don't use the snapshot extension and you put a jar in a repo with another extension (for example -dev), the jar file will be download one times by users, and only one. If the jar file change, it will be never re-downloaded by maven because it's in local repo of users and it isn't a snapshot.
Yep I'm aware of that. I saw that others use dates coded such as 20040401, maybe that's a better way to use snapshots if one wants to avoid breaking the build all the time ?
The torque plugin can be put (snapshot and final version) in ibiblio directly by the torque team (it's the same for all apache projects) .
I perfectly understand that the will is to have a central repository much in the same way as Debian has. But in order to get there, for practical reasons, people need intermediate repositories to work on a day-to-day basis (like the "right away" example I was giving). What would be great is to have a way to create an entry in a "personal" repository, and then use a maven plugin to submit it for inclusion into the ibiblio repository. So basically what I would do is :
1. insert the entry into my "personal repository", maven jar:deploy
2. send a submission for my JAR to the central repository maven jar:submit
3. remove the jar from my "personal repository" once it has been inserted into ibiblio : maven jar:sync or something.
Is this already available ? As I said, I'm a newcomer eager to learn, sorry if this is the twentieth time this is answered, just point me to an existing reply would do the tick :)
