John Casey commented on MNG-3461:
---------------------------------
IMO it's really unfortunate that we started using regex-like syntax for
mirrorOf in the first place. Having reserve words instead, like 'all' or
'external', would be better since it would allow flexibility to expand in
precisely this way. I'd be in favor of an 'external:*' syntax to mean anything
not on this machine (using file:// or localhost as the host would be "this
machine" IMO).
Maybe we can start introducing these reserved words now?

> I ran into some issues recently with the IT tests. I use a mirrorof * to
> redirect everything to a repo manager but this is also redirecting the file
> based repositories. I can't think of any good reason this should apply to
> anything other than remote repos. I have two proposals:
>
> 1. Change maven so that file based repos ignore all mirror settings
> 2. Change maven so that file based repos ignore the wildcard but
> will respond if the mirror specifically names it.
>
> I can't think of any reason why a mirror should override a local repo so I
> suggest we go with #1.
