[jira] Commented: (MERCURY-117) allow "sufficient" repositories

["Brian Fox (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MERCURY-117?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=174272#action_174272 ] 

Brian Fox commented on MERCURY-117:
-----------------------------------

I'm concerned about this statement:
"Apparent application is Maven's Reactor repository: if an artifact is found there, it is final and should be used over any other. "

This is true ONLY if the versions are already valid. Just because something is in the reactor doesn't mean ANY version is applicable.

> Some repositories need to declare that artifacts found in them are final, and the virtual repository reader should stop scanning repositories for more. Apparent application is Maven's Reactor repository: if an artifact is found there, it is final and should be used over any other.
> This can be achieved by:
> * adding this repository to the front of the repository chain
> * declaring this repository "sufficient"
