Re: RFC: Deployer properties

[Brett Porter]

Looks good. A few questions:

maven.repo.repo1.remote.group= goo
Is remote.group really needed? How is this different to pom.groupId?

maven.deploy.repo.ibiblio = http://www.ibiblio.org
maven.deploy.repo.ibiblio.directory = /maven
Is the extra deploy here a typo? If it is something different, what is 
it? (looks like maven.repo.remote). If it is the same, how do you deploy 
to HTTP? PUT?



etc.

For each repository following properties can be set ( I hope that names are
selfexplaing):
maven.repo.${repo alias}.dir = /repository
maven.repo.${repo alias}.username= foo
maven.repo.${repo alias}.password= baa
maven.repo.${repo alias}.remote.group= goo
maven.repo.${repo alias}.port= 23
maven.repo.${repo alias}.privatekey= ./ssh/keys/somefile
maven.repo.${repo alias}.passphrase= baa
maven.repo.${repo alias}.method=(scp|rsync|ftp|put|cp)

maven.repo.proxy=192.168.2.15
maven.repo.proxy.username= foo
maven.repo.proxy.password= foo
maven.repo.proxy.port= 81
You should only need the one proxy, I'd stick with maven.proxy.* that 
already exist.


There is one special case:

In POM (project.xml) we have
 ...
  <siteAddress>maven.apache.org</siteAddress>
  <siteDirectory>/www/maven.apache.org/</siteDirectory>
 ...
In this case properties for this repository can be set

using alias "central"

so e.g.

maven.repo.central.username= foo
maven.repo.central.privatekey= ./ssh/keys/somefile
Maybe this special case doesn't belong in the POM?

One other thing about deploying - will an MD5 be sent as well? Will it 
only be sent to a central repository that can be trusted, or do they 
exist on mirrors as well? (ie for download integrity checks, not 
security checks).

Finally, some more thoughts although a bit of a tangent - pulling them 
back down. Can the repo aliases be re-used for pulling down artifacts? 
Although we might want to stick to just HTTP/FTP there. And would some 
projects perhaps want to identify their own repos in their POM? Does 
that pose a security problem?

Cheers,
Brett
