Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-2438:
------------------------------------
Legacy repos go away in Maven 3.0, and most people don't use them in 2.0.
> search for metadata in legacy repositories causes wrong repository source to
> be used for artifact resolution

> Key: MNG-2438
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2438
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: John Casey
>
> legacy repositories store all version metadata in a single file under the
> /poms/ subdirectory of the artifactId dir. This means that snapshot
> resolution will result in the legacy repository being marked as the source
> for the artifact, regardless of whether that metadata file contains the
> snapshot is actually in that repository's metadata file or not. This is
> because the metadata manager (and metadata class itself, possibly) assumes
> that all metadata files resolved for a particular artifact/snapshot are
> relevant to that snapshot...when the legacy repo's metadata is merged into
> the rest of the in-progress metadata, changes are detected, and the legacy
> repo is adopted as the source for the latest artifact information, regardless
> of whether it actually contains information about that snapshot or not.
