So as I see it, it comes down to a choice of having the user configure his pom with either 1) an artifact id or group id or version id that includes "incubator" in it. or 2) a repository id that include "incubator" in it.
#1 is what most projects do today. It would be nice if they were more consistent about how they include "incubator" in the artifact id. If we go with #2 I think most podlings would like it better since they can then avoid having incubator in the artifact id. This in turn would mean there is less work when the podling needs to graduate since dependent projects would not need to change artifact ids. On 6/16/06, Noel J. Bergman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The repository folks have thus far created several repositories: http://www.apache.org/dist/java-repository/ http://www.apache.org/dist/maven-repository/ http://people.apache.org/repository/ Other than filenames, which are meaningless when the artifacts are transparently downloaded by build tools, the contents of http://people.apache.org/repository/ makes no attempt to differentiate between artifacts (snapshots or otherwise) for official ASF projects, non-ASF projects, and Apache Incubator projects. The Incubator has consistently established clear guidelines that Incubator artifacts are supposed to require a deliberate, intentional, act of acceptance on the part of the user. Adding a general ASF repository of mixed content does not satisfy that requirement, in my view. I would be happier, I suppose, with a separate repository, e.g., http://incubator.apache.org/repository, that clearly indicates the nature of its contents, and contains only Incubator artifacts. Opinions? What do others feel? I am leaving orthogonal my view that it is entirely irresponsible to encourage or even condone the use of automatically downloaded artifacts without authenticating the content of those artifacts. --- Noel cc: repository@, but discussion to be on general@incubator.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
