With the hardware issues of people.apache.org lately its been a trying
week working on stuff in the incubator - maven builds have been
failing most of the week. We've also lost a few releases it seems
(XBean 2.7, ServiceMix 3.0 maybe others too) due to the reversal to an
old backup.
Am wondering, is it time to mirror the repos in people.apache.org so
we can insulate ourselves against future failures?
We need to do something.
With regards to snapshots, one hope is to set up a central snapshot
repository and manage it in the same way the maven central one is
managed.
With regards to the incubating projects - the options are pretty clear:
1) Rsync them over to the maven central repository or central snapshot
repository (our choice, presuming the latter is possible).
2) Start managing the infrastructure for a maven repository properly.
I'm in favour of Robert's SVN ideas - it's how we manage our
repository at osjava.org and it's never been a problem - so just
becomes a question of whether it scales. It also lets us learn slowly
before applying such ideas to an asf repository. There's real value in
a repository that only has asf vetted items in and has high quality of
releases into it, but I think we need to be doing a smaller prototype
first.
