repository ID as mirrorOf. Why not URL ?
Hi,
The <mirrorOf> settings.xml element uses repository ID to match mirrors from
projetcs <reposiroties>. Just to match codehaus shapshot repository, I have
to declare <mirrorOf>snapshot.codehaus,codehaus.shapshot,codehaus-shapshot,Codehaus
Snapshots</mirrorOf>
... and maybe I still miss some variants
Why do we use ID to match repos, and not URL ?
Can we extend the mirroring feature to also look for URL matching in a
future version ?
Cheers,
Nicolas

We actually have the start of a proposal regarding the metadata for
this. I will follow up shortly with the details.

Or a repo-metadata.xml that contains the id's that this repository maps
to...
that way we can run a maven plugin to validate the settings.xml
against the repo-metadata.xml files.... and aggregating mirrors can
report correctly what id's they have aggregated.

with mirrorOf * I just can't have distinct mirror for releases and
snapshots, and URL don't change so often !
How can we expect people to be consistent as there is no place to define the
official ID of a repo ? Mojo itself uses "Codehaus Snapshots" in site docs
and "codehaus-shapshot" on wiki :-/
Maybe a "best practice" could be to have a index.html file at repo root with
a suggested <repository> bloc, so that there is some "official" ID for the
repo...
just my 2 cents

This is a manifest of people not being consistent, but just use mirrorOf
* to catch them. I don't see url being a whole lot easier because then
if the url changes, you're back in the same game.
