[jira] (MNG-3472) configuration possibilities to limit size of
local repository
[ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3472?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=306674#comment-306674 ]
Eric Dalquist commented on MNG-3472:
------------------------------------
It is unfortunate that this issue is marked as won't-fix. We run into this problem all the time and are starting to feel lots of pain around managing local repositories. Having some way to:
* Purge all but the X newest snapshots of a version
* Purge snapshots where a release exists in the local repo
Is really critical, for now we'll be doing this via scripts which I'll try to post back here but of course the danger is the local repository meta data may be left in an invalid state since we'll just be deleting files.

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by setting the maximum number of downloads of a snapshot-version to be kept. thus the explosion of local repository size can be reduced.
> especially when you are working with many in-house multi-module projects which are marked as snapshots before released , can increase repository size significantly.
