-------------------------------------
Hi again!
Ok, using a proxy cn help me. I've been doing so for a while now. But what if
I'm sitting in a closed environment as I'm doing right now. Our development
environment does not have access to the Internet and therefore a repository
manager does not help me. Artifactory can help me in some way. It is possible
to export some repositories to another proxy via a file copy. So it's ok - but
still it woul be much easier fo me if I could make a mirror with development
components in for example 15GB.
As of today, and as mention above, if I try do do a rsync I get more than 60GB
and most of the space is occupied by *.zip, *.tar.gz, *example*, full
application servers etc., etc. Is till don't get it - why don't have several
repositories where each repository has its own role.
Cheers,
Oskar

> Hi All!
> The Maven repository is getting bigger and bigger and I think there must be

> tried to make a mirror via rsync and got a lot of example wars, example jars
> etc. Why are there war-files in the Maven repo at all? Why does Geronimo have
> all their jar files in the global maven repository? Wouldn't it be better to
> have a spearate repo for non-util products like Apache Tomcat, Apache
> Geronimo, JBoss, etc., etc.
> I agree to the fact that the repository shall contain most of the components
> you might need in your development but I don't need war files, I dont need
> example files and most probably I don't need app server jar files. What I
> need is software components from the repo - not fully functional programs
> that I can download from resp. vendor page. These fully functional program
> files are taking up so much HD space and is probably a huge reason why a
> rsync process will conatin synciong for hours.
> So my question is - is there a job to be done here or am I just wrong (crazy)
> in my opinion above?
> Kind regards
