[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1228?page=comments#action_80452 ] Ben Fortuna commented on MAVENUPLOAD-1228: ------------------------------------------
No I understand completely. What I don't understand is what the real benefit is of imposing such tight restrictions on Group Ids. It isn't going to help developers to locate dependencies more easily, as even the Java package naming convention states that there is no guarantee that the reversal of a package name corresponds to a domain on which it is hosted (it is purely /suggested/ as a mechanism to maintain uniqueness). The only reasoning I can see behind this is that you somehow believe the current structure is a bit disorganised. The real problem I have with this is that it imposes on my creative freedoms to manage and distribute my project using whatever Group Id I choose, as long as it is guaranteed to be unique. That is all that Java package naming aims to address, and I believe the same should apply to Maven Group Ids. regards, ben > Request for maven sync with m2.modularity.net.au > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MAVENUPLOAD-1228 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1228 > Project: maven-upload-requests > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Ben Fortuna > Attachments: fortuna-m2sync.sh, modularity-m2sync.sh, > modularity-m2sync.sh, modularity-m2sync.sh > > > I'd like to request the setup of an automatic sync between repository > m2.modularity.net.au and ibiblio. > Please find attached the required rsync script to facilitate this process. > Note that as SSH is enabled I have added the maven public key > [http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/id_dsa.pub] to the home directory of the > mavensync user. > If I have missed anything, or there are any problems with this request feel > free to let me know. > regards, > ben -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
