Right, infra doesn't want gigs of emphemeral drops there. > - cvs.apache.org because files are not uploaded to ibiblio I'm not exactly sure what's in this directory to be honest. Is this where snapshots live on Apache? If so it would be easy enough to sync it. > You think snapshots should be uploaded to ibiblio, don't you? If a project wants to upload them then absolutely. Whatever the projects wants to upload is what goes up. We should be encouraging projects to get their own stuff to ibiblio and discourage third parties from uploading artifacts for projects. And we can certainly make this possible on Apache. > It doesn't seem necessary to me, users that want to be in the bleeding edge > can add cvs.apache.org to their project.properties list of repos. Right, again it's a project decision. If they have users that want binary snapshots then that's fine. A lot of users do build from CVS but some like binaries because of being stuck behind firewalls or whatnot. > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:26 PM > > To: Maven Developers List > > Subject: RE: Repository for snapshots > > > > On Fri, 2004-07-16 at 12:20, Carlos Sanchez wrote: > > > It's more a political question.
