To delete the repo of the guy the next desk over I need to wait for him to be in the office, then email or call him, then explain what I want him to delete. And that's all only if I actually notice that that's what's taking up all the space. Even if I'm just cleaning up my own files, why should I have to spend all this time thinking about it and doing things to fix it? For example, I don't have to think about clearing out the cache in my browser, why should maven's cache be any different? >If your central server is short of space spend $100 and add a terabyte or >2. Oh, are you going to fund the additional disk space, and the extra backup resources needed, and pay for time it takes to actually update the disk array and provision the space in my company's SAN? If so, great! My point it that using more disk space has more costs than just the price of a drive platter. eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
