[jira] Commented: (MNG-3472) configuration possibilities to limit
size of local repository
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3472?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=143833#action_143833 ]
Georgios Skempes commented on MNG-3472:
---------------------------------------
Unfortunately this issue was closed, otherwise I would have voted. I think every software should address the problems it creates. Pointing to external tools is not a solution. A software cannot assume that disk space is limitless available.
Because of many configuration changes yesterday, my windows profile was grown up to a size of 16 GB. I didn't notice. Since the profile is stored on the server, it will take more than 4.5 hours to login today (the network works only at 10 Mbit).
Please reopen this issue and provide a solution. I'm sure you would a favor to many people.

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by setting the maximum number of downloads of a snapshot-version to be kept. thus the explosion of local repository size can be reduced.
> especially when you are working with many in-house multi-module projects which are marked as snapshots before released , can increase repository size significantly.
