Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1240:
-----------------------------------------
Hi Aeham,
bq. Presumably that means building straight from source for anything other than
trunk (e.g. checkout from an old tag) is not guaranteed to work 100% of the
time?
Yes, that's why we provide a separate target for dependency download (ant
make-deps and ant make-core-deps), and also package a -lib distribution.
bq. Out of interest, what is the reasoning behind it? Is it simply for saving
storage space?
I honestly don't know, only infra can answer that. Space conservation on
Apache mirrors may be the reason. But you can always get at old artifacts via
archive.apache.org.

> Key: CONNECTORS-1240
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1240
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Build
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.8
> Reporter: Aeham Abushwashi
> Attachments: plugin-version.patch
>
>
> Some binary dependencies, specifically elasticseach plugin 2.1 and solr
> plugin 2.1, appear to have been removed from the manifold download site. This
> causes a build of an earlier version of manifold, e.g. 1.8, to fail as ant is
> unable to download those artifacts.
> If reinstating the deleted files is out of the question, I could workaround
> the problem easily enough by editing the build script to download the latest
> versions of each plugin, assuming these are backwards compatible (?). In
> which case, could someone please confirm that the attached patch is
> acceptable? Please note that my deployment of manifold doesn't interact with
> Elasticsearch or Solr (not directly or knowingly anyway).
> Thanks,
> Aeham
