----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 3.0-beta-1

"local" in [r929329|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=929329].
> Dependency resolution appears to misbehave if a remote repository uses the id

> Key: MNG-4418
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4418
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0-beta-1
>

> Consider something like
> {code:xml}
> <mirror>
> <id>local</id>
> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
> <url>http://localhost/mymirror</url>
> </mirror>
> {code}
> in the settings. Note in particular that the mirror uses the id "local". This
> severely impacts dependency resolution as this repo id is internally used for
> the local repository. In particular the path to the locally stored repo
> metadata uses this id, i.e. {{maven-metadata-local.xml}}, making it
> impossible for Maven to distinguish the real local repo metadata from the
> remote repo called "local".
> Possible error scenario:
> - user installs local snapshot of a artifact A
> - Maven checks remote repo "local" for updates of A, thereby overwriting
> {{maven-metadata-local.xml}} and erasing the information about the local
> snapshot
> - Maven downloads snapshot version of A from the remote repo, regardless of
> its age compared to the locally installed snapshot
