[jira] Updated: (MNG-2684) local repository can only be specified
per user, not per build, which impacts scalability
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2684?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Marilyn E. Sander updated MNG-2684:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: repotest.gz
There are five test cases. driver.sh is a bash script that will run one testcase at a time. Each is a different method of specifying a local repository. Each local repository is put on /tmp. (They are small).

> Because the local repository can only be specified in the ~/.m2/settings.xml or ~/.m2/ant/settings.xml file, there can be only one local repository per user per executing build. Worst case, the repository is on a mounted filesystem and thus the user can run only one build at a time. Best case, the repository is on the local machine, and the user can run one build per machine. This does not scale to an installation with large-capacity build servers, where one user might run several builds of different products or releases simultaneously, with each build using its own local repository. This can be done with Maven alone, but not with Maven ant tasks.
> I would like a mechanism for the ant tasks to pick up the local repository from a property, an environment variable, or a file in the base directory for the build. Even $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml would be acceptable, as we could jigger $M2_HOME so as to have a unique one for each build. Any mechanism would be suitable, as long as it would allow a unique local repostory for each build.
> Feel free to lower this from major to minor if you do not agree with the impact. For our shop it is a major inconvenience, and we are considering a major rewrite to our build in order to avoid the ant tasks. We really need to make good use of our build servers.
