[jira] Closed: (MNG-145) built in notion of a mirror repository
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-145?page=all ]
Brett Porter closed MNG-145:
----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
went for the settings.xml solution here for now. Reading a list of mirrors from the repository itself can be a future step.

> this probably relates to repository work as much as Maven work.
> Currently, if users wish to use a mirror of ibiblio, they specify that as an alternative remote repository. In m1, this causes a problem because if you add a new repository not equivalent to that in your project, it is not in the build.properties.
> In m2, they are all added to the list, so the mirror will be used first, but the others may also be checked. This is better, but still requires the user specify it in their configuration and it may be used on projects it is never needed for.
> It would be good if we could have a repository descriptor at the base of the repository that lists mirrors. On first use of the repository, the user could be prompted to select any mirrors they'd like to use, and it can be saved in their configuration for that repository ID.
> That way any project listing ibiblio as a repository could actually use, say, planetmirror instead (and fall back to ibiblio last).
