I suppose another option would be a very lightweight local repo server so all activity against the local repo is "managed", but this is probably overkill.

If I understand properly, not only overkill but also hassle: Imagine a terminal environment where several users log into the same host, i.e. share the same IP and hence the same port pool (but still have separate homes and local repos). If Maven started a server process on behalf of the first user at port X, how should any other user start this server process on behalf for himself when port X is already in use by another user's repo server?

Just to have brought it up
Good point Benjamin. Although I had in mind one multi-threaded daemon handling all local repos or some exotic disk queue as a mean of communication, this seem to be unnecessary complication for now. Let's see if basic lock breaks before venturing any further. The best parts of any system are the removed-by-design ones!

Thanks,

Yeah, I sort of meant the "local repo server" idea to be ironic, but my deadpan didn't quite translate into e-mail. <sigh> Anyway, yes, I'd just like a simple locking mechanism in 2.1 (or heck, in 2.0.x, since it shouldn't change any behaviour/config except to cover an edge- case not currently supported in Maven anyway).

Christian.
