Hello,
I need advice. Our production builds are handled by a separate group.
They do the builds in a locked room with limited access to the company
infrastructure, and no access to the outside world. They have access to
our SCM. In the room they have a web server that has ssh access to a
development web server.
To do a maven based build they first rsync their web server's repo with
the development one. Then the build machine accesses their web server.
This is a pain for both developers and the build group. So, I'm thinking
I should just put an image of the repo in SCM. This gives them a good
audit trail and control. To do a build they first update the repo to the
head of the SCM, then fetch the source code by a label, and finally kick
off maven.
I know SCM people don't like to put artifacts into SCM, but this seems
like a reasonable use. Are there any maven specific issues/problems that
this may cause?
Thanks,
Christopher Helck
