[jira] Updated: (MNG-4955) [regression] Outdated remote snapshots are preferred over locally installed snapshots

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4955?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Benjamin Bentmann updated MNG-4955:
-----------------------------------

    Description: 
When using the new metadata format, remote snapshots listed by locally cached {{maven-metadata-*.xml}} will always be selected regardless of their relative age compared to any locally installed snapshots. To repro:
a) "mvn deploy" lib-a
b) wait a few seconds
c) "mvn install" lib-a, this creates a local snapshot that is newer than the remote snapshot
d) in a dependent project lib-b, "mvn compile -U"

The -U flag to enforce metadata download is rather crucial as otherwise the feature introduced for MNG-4326 hides the defect.

Besides the expected download of the remote metadata, Maven erroneously also downloads/uses the outdated remote snapshots.
