Add cli flag to set all snapshot repos to updatePolicy = never
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2681
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2681
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Command Line
Reporter: Jason Dillon
Can we get a flag to mvn, which will set all snapshot repos updatePolicy to
never?
I'm trying to get a build that will always use locally installed snapshots, but
allow new deps to be downloaded if needed. All I can think of now is to create
a new profile which redefines all of the snapshot repos with
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>... but that gets messy as I need to add a
profile to every pom that defines a repo.
Would it be hard to implement a simple cli flag, like -nsu
(--no-snapshot-updates) which will just force all snap repos to never update?
This would be very, very, very helpful for automated builds, when the local
repo cache is known to have the right deps.
