Milos Kleint commented on MRM-148:
----------------------------------

i figured the current patch is not 100% functional.
the zipped index is placed in the local repository (from configuration store. That's what I thought to be the location of the maven repository. However it seems it's not that case.

I guess there's a conceptual problem with this a bit. The index can be shared among multiple repositories that are managed by the webapp. The "let's have a zipped index in the repository root" idea is not compatible with this setup. There is not a 1:1 relationship between the index and the repository.

> for use in the IDEs, it would be nice to have the index for the remote repository readily available for download. the attached path solves that by always creating a zip file after the index is updated and placing it into the repository in .index folder. That way the IDE can easily check the location only with the knowledge of the repository url.
