Re: Redirects in ibiblio?
Many projects like to keep various kinds of statistics. Sourceforge does some of that. A repository redirect doesn't sound much like complex functionality to me. It's just returning the location of a repository that contains the download. Seems simple to me but then again, I didn't write the code or do the design. In my opinion, if it has this feature then it can become ubiquitous. A network of repostiories for people to put stuff downloadable for maven with a directory service in the middle. I haven't run any statistics but I suspect a whole bunch of the jars people use can't be gotten directly, even from ibiblio/repo1, because the owners won't hand over that last bit of control.

A repository redirect doesn't sound much like complex functionality to me. It's just returning the location of a repository that contains the download.

I haven't run any statistics but I suspect a whole bunch of the jars people use can't be gotten directly, even from ibiblio/repo1, because the owners won't hand over that last bit of control. They can have their repositories for their own development but when it comes to working for everyone else I believe the only real solution is pushing it to central. Why? Because most of the repositories setup by others tend to be crap, not managed, and things come and go which makes them completely unstable. For example, I have already seen release POMs being created that list repositories listing dependencies that are no longer available in those repositories rendering that release POM completely useless. Simply a function of making thing work for their projects, and inadvertently screwing everyone else. A network of repositories is nice in theory, hasn't work out so well in practice and really the central repository is not that terribly big and we'll make it easy for people to push to the central repository. But stats for projects is something we can definitely improve upon.

Redirects in ibiblio?
I was wondering if it would be possible to post a redirect to ibiblio that would take someone to a different maven repository to find what they are looking for. Sort of making ibiblio both a repository and a directory service for finding the proper repository for software? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Redirects-in-ibiblio--tf3896255s177.html#a11045717 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
