Setting up a private mirror of the main repository

[Steve Loughran <st...@gmail.com>]

How would I go about setting up a private mirror of the repository?
that is, one behind a firewall for internal use only? I know someone
who (probably) has the disk space and would like to deal with mistrust
from dev teams of trusting remote servers.

Sorry for the late reply, but, if someone wanted to rsync with the entire
ibiblio repository, you'd do something like this:

rsync -avz --verbose ftp.ibiblio.org::maven2 /somewhere/maven2

You take a big hit up front, but the nightly changes are not terribly
substantial, if an organization is large enough it may make sense to do
this.

maven-proxy would cache the stuff on demand. I don't see a strong
reason to get the whole enchilada.

A mirror list of ibiblio is here

wget --mirror, curl or similar tool I'm guessing.

Though as they wouldn't want to limit it to just ASF software (I
presume), they'd be wanting to mirror the ibiblio one.

There's something called the maven-proxy (Carlos on this list may have
been the author actually), which they could hook up and it would
slowly be building a local repository of the ones tey use. Depends
whether their mistrust is based on availability or security.

If security - they should get the signed zip/tar.gzs and pull the jars
out themselves.
