About SNAPSHOT on people.apache.org

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

infra  (Joe Scheafer) did some massive cleanup on people.apache.org 
maven repository, deleting all the SNAPSHOTs older than 30 days (and I 
think a crontab task will be activated to do so every month).

Many mails has been excahnge don the infra mailing list about it, with 
some very valid points made : this is not a place where SNAPSHOTs should 
remain forever.

I looked at MINA SNAPSHOTs :
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/mina/mina-core/ 


We have dozens of them, for versions which has been released years ago. 
Is there a need to keep those SNAPSHOTs at all on people.apache.org 
anyway? Directory project is using maven from day one, wand we never 
stored SNAPSHOTs on people.apache.org, so I'm wondering if it's a good 
idea to do it for MINA...

In any case, we should not have any SNAPSHOT for a release version, 
that's for sure !

thoughts ?

Agreed. And I think that we should only keep one version around for
snapshots. Hopefully, Brett (as mentioned on the infra list) will get
that script done that does that check automatically.
