[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-1228?page=comments#action_80461 ] Ben Fortuna commented on MAVENUPLOAD-1228: ------------------------------------------
Well struts, wicket, and even maven saw fit to name their project without securing a domain name first. I'm sure such names were decided upon by a quick check that there weren't any existing projects using that name. How is a Maven group id any different? And if I take a quick look at the current repository as you suggested, I find the project 'ezwizard-rt' under the struts group id: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/sf/struts/ >From what I can tell, this project is not a part of struts, and after failing >to find it on sourceforge I managed to discover that it is hosted here: http://www.superinterface.com/easywizard.htm So how have your rules helped in this case? It seems to me that it has made the repository structure more confusing, as you imply that there is a direct link between domain and group id where obviously, for this project at least, there isn't! And it is the Maven users that initially requested that I add my stuff to your repository. I am spending *my* free time helping to fulfull those users needs. Regardless of whether the "most popular projects" adhere to your rules, I am not comfortable with such rules that serve no obvious purpose. 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 > Assigned To: Carlos Sanchez > 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
