mirror sync: rsync improvements
-------------------------------
Key: MNGSITE-61
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGSITE-61
Project: Maven 2 Project Web Site
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: Linux, but probably other unix-like systems as well
Reporter: Jørgen Wahlberg
After having problems fetching artifacts from my private maven 2 repository
mirror, I discovered that I had no read permission for asm:asm:pom:3.1
After cursing a bit and debugging some more, I disovered that only owner and
group were allowed to enter the directory .../asm/asm/3.1/ in my file system.
I then disovered that the rsync suggested in
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html have a
deficiency: it will not change the permissions of files and directories after
they have been downloaded. In this case, I suspect that the directory was set
to permissions 750 (or similar) the first time it was downloaded to my mirror
and then later changed to 775.
Fix: change the suggested rsync command to
rsync -v -p -t -l -r mirrors.ibiblio.org::maven2 /your/local/path
(notice the -p switch), or suggest using a
chmod -R a+rX /your/local/path
after doing the rsync.
