Marilyn E. Sander updated MNG-2684:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: repotest.gz
There are five test cases. driver.sh is a bash script that will run one
testcase at a time. Each is a different method of specifying a local
repository. Each local repository is put on /tmp. (They are small).
> local repository can only be specified per user, not per build, which impacts
> scalability

> Key: MNG-2684
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2684
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Ant tasks
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Marilyn E. Sander
> Attachments: repotest.gz

>
> Because the local repository can only be specified in the ~/.m2/settings.xml
> or ~/.m2/ant/settings.xml file, there can be only one local repository per
> user per executing build. Worst case, the repository is on a mounted
> filesystem and thus the user can run only one build at a time. Best case,
> the repository is on the local machine, and the user can run one build per
> machine. This does not scale to an installation with large-capacity build
> servers, where one user might run several builds of different products or
> releases simultaneously, with each build using its own local repository.
> This can be done with Maven alone, but not with Maven ant tasks.
> I would like a mechanism for the ant tasks to pick up the local repository
> from a property, an environment variable, or a file in the base directory for
> the build. Even $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml would be acceptable, as we could
> jigger $M2_HOME so as to have a unique one for each build. Any mechanism
> would be suitable, as long as it would allow a unique local repostory for
> each build.
> Feel free to lower this from major to minor if you do not agree with the
> impact. For our shop it is a major inconvenience, and we are considering a
> major rewrite to our build in order to avoid the ant tasks. We really need
> to make good use of our build servers.
