Proxied repository strategies?

[Eric Miles <er...@kronos.com>]

All,

We have just stood up an instance of Archiva and attempting to
incorporate it's use into our maven build processes.  However, there is
a lack of documentation for suggested practices on how to use it.

My biggest question is surrounding proxy connector usage.  I thought it
would be a good idea to proxy the central repository into a managed
repository, however it seems the repository scanner is running non-stop
now.  In over 11 hours of uptime, we have nearly a gig of logging
information and the system is scanning this particular managed
repository nearly non-stop.  Is this a bad idea?  Can anyone give me
some information on repository and database scans?  I've read the
documentation but I'm looking for a little more info.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

Well, part of my problem seems to stem from the fact the Cron expression
is based off the open symphony cron syntax and not unix syntax :)  I
should have noticed it was the same as continuum.

However, now I think I have a backlog of "scan jobs" that need to be
run, at least that's what it seems like is going on.  I have 4 managed
repos that get scanned every minute.  Is there any way to purge these
jobs or do I just need to let them run their course?

Thanks,
Eric
