creating a mirror of central?

[Dan Adams <da...@ifactory.com>]

I can't seem to find info anywhere on this: how do you mirror the maven
2 central repo? I know about maven-proxy but that doesn't seem to
alleviate the problem of going to server to check for something that
isn't in it.

Well, maven-proxy seems to do most of what I need it to do. I wanted to
set up a local one here so that anyone in the office can use that
instead of the central repo. We will also have our own repo for our
private releases/snapshots. But there are some things that are not kept
in the central repo and since it checks the central repo first when
doing anything it seems to slow things down a little bit. If it were
internal the response time would be much higher. The only reason I have
for not jumping on maven-proxy is that I request something that is not
in central it will still have to check central to make sure so it won't
fail fast for things that aren't in the repo. Correct? Otherwise
maven-proxy would be fine. I was thinking something along the lines of
using rsync to synchronize nightly or something.

What exactly are you looking for? What's the use case? You want to
download the entire Central repo (in a massive tarball or something)
and then install/deploy it on a local Maven repo?

Most people use maven-proxy which downloads (and stores locally) files
when they are requested and it has not already been downloaded. Most
people find this acceptable. You're the first person I've seen who
wanted a real "mirror" of Central.
