[jira] Commented: (MAVENUPLOAD-2788) Remove artifacts

["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-2788?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=225392#action_225392 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MAVENUPLOAD-2788:
-------------------------------------------

the reason this option is in place is because it has potential to cause confusion for those that have already cached an existing copy. Maven and it's repository managers generally have no expiry policy on released artifacts.

How serious is the error in the POM? Does it validate?

Like for if you had found other bugs that needed an update, would you consider doing another point release?

> I do not want a Maven Upload, but just to wipe some artifacts that you are already mirroring to ibiblio (so that I can fix them).  I am only opening this issue under this project because there is no other relevant "project" to fix issues with artifacts already in place.  I figure that the techs who can work Upload tickets should know how to get to the mock-ftp staging or ibiblio production servers and know where the maven2 artifacts reside there.
> My problem is, you already picked up, by rsync, my new resources for my new project version 2.0.0.  There was a mistake in the .pom files which was discovered after your pick-up.  Not a big deal with the .pom mistake-- I fixed that in 5 minutes.  But your rsync pickup job refuses to modify existing hosted artifacts, very likely because of the --ignore-existing switch that you use for rsync.
> If you could just get on the staging or production servers as needed and wipe out all of the 2.0.0 subdirectories at the level http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/hsqldb/*/2.0.0/ , that should be all that is needed (there are 4 directories at the same exact level, all grandchildren of http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/hsqldb/).
> I have a lot of experience with rsync, and with UNIX and scripting generally, so let me know if I can help in any way.
