Hi! problem description -----------
SCM URLs currently automatically get extended for child modules. E.g. from svn://mycompany.com/myproject in the parent pom, a child module 'frontend' will result in getting a SCM URL svn://mycompany.com/myproject/frontend This is fine for SVN and CVS, but broken for GIT, HG, etc because the SCM URL is 'static' for them. proposal ----------- Since we cannot put this information into the various scm plugins (because of a 'definition cycle' as explained here [1]) we could split the URL construction into scmUrlAppendChild=true/false and make it configurable. The configuration could be controlled via a Modello config, my suggestion would be to just add them to toolchains.mdo. I'd just add a String property which holds a regular expression which parses the SCM URL and decides upon this whether the appending should get activated, e.g. for all SCMs which contain 'scm:svn:' or 'scm:cvs:' or the java-svn (olamy, you know the plexus key for that?) If there is a better place to put that config or a better way to get the info, then please speak up now :) I think this change would be backward compatible and doesn't need any pom changes. It also could easily get back-ported to mvn2 if needed. Are there other URLS which also need a similar distinction while building the model? WDYT? txs and LieGrue, strub [1] http://markmail.org/message/npw3hp6aloa55ctf --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
