[jira] Commented: (MARTIFACT-5) non-handling of legacy repositories needs to be more graceful

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MARTIFACT-5?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=138481#action_138481 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MARTIFACT-5:
--------------------------------------

additionally, we should document this in the release notes, and also write a guide on how to convert the repository format, or install a repository manager.

> legacy repository support was removed.
> Currently, it appears to still partially handle it - using 2.1-SNAPHOT today it requests groupId/types/artifactId-version.ext as before, but chokes on the non-existence of a POM in the desired format.
> If this support is to be removed, it should be removed completely, and legacy repositories should be ignored in the repository list, with a warning presented so that it sohuld either resolve from an alternate repository, or present as an artifact not found exception.
