External repository always requires a repository manager?

2010-08-16 Thread Trevor Harmon

Your life would be much easier using a repository manager for your internal repository. Nexus is almost trivial to set up, for example. As for internal vs external, there is no difference, you don't need a repository manager... but your life will always be easier if you use one. -Stephen P.S.

You should discuss this in the Nexus forum. Nexus is easy to st up and does not require a separate container. It does both internal and external with proper access control. Other repository solutions may also work but I use Nexus for my development team. Ron On 16/08/2010 4:16 AM, Trevor

What you are referring to as a external repository is essentially a caching proxy. If the only repository you are proxying is central, then theoretically you could use any caching proxy server (including Apache). But if you are a single developer, I'm not sure what value you are looking to get
