François Duchatelet commented on MNG-3472:
------------------------------------------
There are two sides on this issue:
* as the local repository is managed by maven, maven should provide some tools
to control its size, content, ... Writing any kind of script to do some clever
cleanup requires knowledge of repo structure.
Partial answer, the dependency:purge-local-repository plugin
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/purge-local-repository-mojo.html).
Maybe this one should be extended with other kind of cleanup ?
* but the triggering of the action is the responsibility of an external tool,
such as hudson, continuum, cron, ...

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by
