--------------------------------------
Thanks for your comments Barrie :)
Anyway, there was also a discussion regarding this issue and MRM-275 as well in
the Archiva Dev List. I've summarized below what has been agreed upon in the
thread. For reference purposes, the subject of the thread was "Repository purge
(MRM-294 and MRM-275)". Please feel free to add more..
Summary:
1. Configuration will be for each repository - the repository purge will be
implemented as a consumer, which will be executed during repository scanning.
Configuration will be incorporated on the repository configuration page.
2. Repository purge is configurable in archiva.xml
3. Snapshot retention policies will also be for each repository.
For #3, these are the policies to be implemented:
a. any artifacts that are not in active development will be deleted entirely
(eg, 1.0-SNAPSHOT when 1.0 is released)
b. time based** (e.g. any builds older than 1 month)
c. artifact count retention** (e.g. if user specified "5", then archiva would
keep 5 in total of the latest.. like 1.1-20070506.121113-1,
1.1-20070506.121113-2, 1.1-20070506.121113-3, 1.1-20070506.121113-4,
1.1-20070506.121113-5 and NOT 1.1-SNAPSHOT, 1.2-SNAPSHOT, 1.3-SNAPSHOT,
1.4-SNAPSHOT, 1.5-SNAPSHOT)
**user will have the option to choose from either of these two criteria
