Take a look at this recent thread: from [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to [email protected] date Nov 30, 2006 5:24 AM subject MAVEN_INSTALL_DIR/conf/settings.xml
It discusses specifying the localRepository in settings.xml file among other things you might find useful. Also, there's a discussing on the Maven Dev list about bringing Maven to Red Hat w/RPMs etc so you might want to talk a look at that thread as well. I imagine there are a lot of similarities between your goals. Wayne On 12/8/06, Alistair Bush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi I am currently investigating strategies of how to bring maven support to the package management system used in Gentoo Linux (portage) Here is a background on gentoo and portage. Gentoo is a linux source based distro, portage its package manager does any compiling, patching, 'draft installing' (anything imaginable within a bash script) within the directory /var/tmp/portage/<packages category>/<package name and version> Portage also locks down all write access to the rest of the file system for security reasons. This is one of the problems that is faced in bring maven build support to portage. Also gentoo already has a package manager I am looking to essentually disable maven repository support. obviously offline mode will help with the downloading of dependancies which will be provided by portages dependancy support but I would like to know whether it is possible to specify where dependancies are located from the command line.
