Hi Everyone,
Sounds like fairly easy agreement that a well managed Nexus repository
would be of benefit to the community and that it makes sense to reboot
maven.eclipse.org. For what it's worth I can see obvious benefit and
synergy with the CBI efforts and the Long Term Support (LTS) program as
well - thus I can make a pretty clear business case that we simply need to
do this.
I'm hoping that we can lean on you all a bit longer for your help to
capture lessons learned from maven.eclipse.org to date, sort through bugs
and requirements, and help figure out how we should implement the new
system? If you feel like being part of this, please +1 to register your
interest.
In terms of timing, the work on the CBI build for the Eclipse platform is
taking a bit longer due to vacations and competing other demands so may not
be ready for SR1. This will slip when we can start picking up work with
Nexus by weeks. You can follow along on cbi-dev to track progress. I'm
cautiously optimistic the slip won't be too bad due in part by some great
work and persistence by Igor, Chris, Thanh, Paul, and others. We can always
use a few more hands testing if you're interested to help speed us up.
Also, I'm inclined to simply leave maven.eclipse.org for now and start a
new instance in parallel for fear of disruption to anyone using it.

I do not decide what is and is not part of CBI effort. You need to talk
to Andrew Ross to see if he feels they have resources and expertise
needed to take over maven.eclipse.org.
Personally, I do think that supported and well-maintained Maven/Nexus
hosted repository will benefit Eclipse community in general, but I also
think that Foundation (or should it be Planning Council?) will need to
make policy decisions before anything happens.

I mentioned to Igor that I'd be happy if they wanted to take it over but
he didn't seem interested.
I do think it is at a stage that it needs more than just community
ownership though, especially when problems occur during working hours when
it isn't possible for us to intervene.

+1 for CBI, I know they are planning on looking into the orbit mess as
well once SR1 is done
orbit mess being how to reconcile orbit with maven central in a sane
fashion

Personally, with CBI using maven. I'd actually recommend that Nexus
server
fall under that group. Especially with Nexus 2.1.x able to support p2
repositories, and also make existing maven repositories p2 enabled. So
items could technically just be deployed to it and the basic p2
metadata is
generated as needed.

We've run out of disk space again - I'm trying to clean it up, but
there's something on the filesystem which appears to be taking a lot
of
size. Right now the server is in the process of trying to restart and
generating errors in the log files, probably due to lack of space.
So I've cleaned out some cruft, but I think it's likely to recur. The
performance of the virtual disk is horribly slow and although the
nexus jobs
are set up to purge the trash and remove unused items, I think that
there's
a number of people hitting http://maven.eclipse.org for non-eclipse
content.
There's also some data in /var which we can clean - there's a lot of
data
in /var/messages, for example. However, the root password (was in
~admin/pw,
now gone) seems to have gone walkabout - anyone know where it went?
Finally, I'm concerned that the level of support (and management) that
we
(as Dash) are able to provide doesn't fit the Eclipse organisation.
Given
that we haven't succeeded in converting Eclipse to Maven hosting - and
the
m4e tools never made it to production worthy status - I'm wondering if
we
shouldn't shut the system down. Unfortunately, I don't know where the
repository is being used from hudson slaves, so I'm not sure if that's
even
practical - or whether the repositories are being used by others.
Thoughts?
