Maven repository mirror
Hi,
We are thinking about setting up an internal maven 2 repository mirror here at the European Commission.
How much space is currently required for the central repository? The maven website mentions "16GB and growing".
Can we just rsync every couple of hours using one of the following commands or do we need te follow a procedure?
We don't want to be blacklisted and kicked off.
rsync -v -t -l -r mirrors.ibiblio.org::maven2 /your/local/path
rsync -v -t -l -r rsync://rsync.cica.es/maven2 /your/local/path
Are these locations still the primary locations to rsync?
Kind regards,
Geert Van Bastelaere

RE: Maven repository mirror

As far as I know, the recommended method is not to rsync, as you don't need a full copy. Try running a maven proxy, like Archiva, Nexus or Artifactory, which work like a mirroring proxy. When they don't have a requested artifact, they will collect it from central or any other repository you set up and will keep it in their local repository. These also can work as a inhouse repository, to deploy your own artifacts to.
With regards,
Nick Stolwijk
