Ignacio Taranto commented on MNG-6603:
--------------------------------------
Any update on this?
IMO there should at least be an option for moving `$HOME/.m2` to another local.
It could be through an environment variable like `MAVEN_HOME` or global setting
from the global `settings.xml` (`/etc/maven/settings.xml` in Linux).
