OK thanks, I figured out what's going on. The checksum was failing for http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/maven/2.0.6/maven-2.0.6.p om
Testing confirms that it seems the checksums in the central repo are wrong. I manually ran md5 and sha1 sums on that file, and they do not match the sums stored in central. By comparison, the pom for 2.0.7 does not have this problem. Having confirmed this, if I could beg your indulgence for a couple of followup questions: 1) You said you didn't have this problem... I presume you have checksumming set to 'ignore' or 'fix' in Archiva? 2) Is a 404 really the only error we get on this problem? This is the same thing you'd get for a completely nonexistent artifact, it's kind of misleading. 3) (Rhetorical question) WTF is up with Maven central having bad checksums for Maven's own artifacts, and how can I be the first one to notice this? Did I make some mistake, or is everyone except me ignoring checksums? -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 10:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Archiva selectively failing to proxy one particular artifact the log configuration files are in /apps/archiva/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.xml On 01/03/2008, Brown, Carlton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How/where/what are the options to manipulate Archiva logging? > > It's on Windoze, probably not a permissions problem...
