For deploying or actually pulling? Deploying is a totally different
story. I know tons of people who use file, dav, scp, and ftp.
Strictly for pulling I'm saying. And I'm not saying it will satisfy
our users, just throwing out the idea. But HTTP is pretty much
ubiquitous, handles all security concerns, easily distributed ...
The use case was that we had to mirror our internal repo to another
corp
network. We essentially zipped up the repo and transferred it to their
machine (regularly and automatically via scm), which set a mirror
entry
pointing to the local fs. This had to be done this way because a
proxied
connection to our internal repo was not allowed, they needed full
copies
of the entire build in scm.
I think these tools could could probably be special tools using
Wagon, or something else like an rsync tool would be ideal.
I agree though that file:// is pretty useful. Just looking to make
the mechanism as streamlined, simple, and consistent as possible.
Does Ivy or OSGi repositories support anything other then HTTP?

Subject: Using HTTP repositories for consumption only
After thinking about Greg's comments I think it would be interesting
to ask people who actually uses anything but HTTP repositories for
consumption?
Deployment is a totally different story, but to radically simplify
the core what if we only allowed HTTP repositories for consumption in
2.1?
Thanks,
Jason
