Just so that we have "Joakim's plans" documented here ....
Wagon Ideas.
1. Add Timeouts.
Question becomes, how do we configure this value?
Per Protocol? or Per Repository?
Do we use the <server><configuration> section in the settings.xml?
2. Add Client Header Identification.
This would only be useful on some protocols (such as http / dav),
but completely irrelevant on others.
Jason could use this to track the uptake of specific versions of
maven on the repo1.maven.org side.
If we decide to do this for http, we can make it be a separate
request header, or a modification of the USER-AGENT string.
3. Streaming Wagons.
4. Limited Wagon Transactions.
This becomes a problem when we have a deploy that modifies the
maven-metadata.xml
5. Deprecation of repository id / server id as the authentication
binding mechanism.
Use what precisely to bind to?
1. hostname
2. hostname:port
3. protocol://hostname:port
4. regex of any of the above
5. all of the above
6. Whitelists on repositories in pom.xml, based on groupId. (don't
bother searching this repository if the groupId doesn't match).
This should help optimize the repository searching. It's just a
piece of build optimization, anyone consuming the pom could just
as well ignore this optimization with no ill effects.
7. Password Encryption in the settings.xml
I welcome discussion.
Big +1 or -1 on any concept above.
And I realize that the concepts above are not wagon exclusive, but
rather overlap with maven 2.1 too.
