According to http://www.think88.com/resources/Maven_white_paper_june_2009.pdf
" Sonatype maintains a central repository with more than 90,000 artifacts, consuming more than 60 GB of storage. In addition to the artifacts themselves, the Maven Central Repository also contains a POM-file for each of the artifacts, containing the meta data for these artifacts. To protect the integrity of the repository, Sonatype checks the meta data for correctness. If the meta data is erroneous, the artifact can’t be uploaded. " There are some artifacts on the Maven Central Repo, with corrupt meta data. Is there an issue tracker where such corrupt artifacts could be reported? What is the policy of Sonatype handling this issue? 1. Will corrupt artifacts be removed (causing a chain reaction, because Central hosted dependents will loose their dependencies, which are required to be also on Central)? 2. Or is it in Sonatype's plan to start a new Central Repo, which is now better scanned? 3. Or ignorance? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
