The proxy connector only allows linking an internal repository with a
remote repository.
At the moment I have our repositories physically separated on disk (a
hang over from maven-proxy setup)
I have the following layout:
* internal
* internal_snapshot
* maven_proxy
I would like to keep these repositories separate as I want to be able
to clean up the internal ones (delete out of date snapshots, etc)
To keep this setup I need to have three proxy definitions in my
~/.m2/settings.xml. I'd prefer one. Since two of them are release
repositories it will mean mvn will contact both internal and
maven_proxy, which thanks to blacklists is very fast.
This does make the proxy setup a little more complicated than:
<mirror>
<id>maven-proxy</id>
<name>Maven-Proxy Mirror</name>
<url>http://HOST:PORT/archiva/repository/maven_proxy</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
Is what I am doing a valid use case?
Do others have a similar need?
Am I going about this in the wrong way?
I'd appreciate other peoples thoughts.
Cheers
