Re: Hosting a public archiva?
Posted by Maria Odea Ching <oc...@apache.org>.
Thanks for setting it up Brett :)
Sorry, I haven't been able to work on this. I'll send an email in the next
few days to the infra team/list to inquire if and how we can set up an
Archiva instance to host the Apache repos.
Thanks,
Deng

Re: Hosting a public archiva?
Posted by Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>.
I've set up 1.1.2 on vmbuild.apache.org.
This will just contain whatever is proxied into the Continuum server
going forward, not a full copy. It might be a useful starting point
though - and is probably also useful for deploying CI snapshots to
(and managing them using the purge features).
Cheers,
Brett

Re: Hosting a public archiva?
Posted by Maria Odea Ching <oc...@apache.org>.
Yep, I just saw Gwen submit a patch for MRM-90 (advanced search options)
yesterday which would be an advantageous feature for a public Archiva.. I
haven't taken a close look at the patch yet but if we can include that
feature in the next release, I was thinking we use that next release for the
public Archiva (though 1.1.1 is also good to go I think).
Btw, do we need to formally ask permission from or coordinate with the ASF
or the infra team to set up Archiva to serve the Apache repos? :)
Thanks,
Deng
