Re: [dash-dev] Maven Nexus server


Zitat von Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>:

So I've cleaned out some cruft, but I think it's likely to recur. The performance of the virtual disk is horribly slow and although the nexus jobs are set up to purge the trash and remove unused items, I think that there's a number of people hitting http://maven.eclipse.org for non-eclipse content.

Why does nexus mirror half of maven central? And why are there *two* repos (repo1 and repo2)?

There's also some data in /var which we can clean - there's a lot of data in /var/messages, for example. However, the root password (was in ~admin/pw, now gone) seems to have gone walkabout - anyone know where it went?

I have it. /var is a mere 100MB. Log rotation is making sure it doesn't grow much beyond that. I could clean some of that but the bulk is in repo1.

Finally, I'm concerned that the level of support (and management) that we (as Dash) are able to provide doesn't fit the Eclipse organisation. Given that we haven't succeeded in converting Eclipse to Maven hosting - and the m4e tools never made it to production worthy status - I'm wondering if we shouldn't shut the system down. Unfortunately, I don't know where the repository is being used from hudson slaves, so I'm not sure if that's even practical - or whether the repositories are being used by others.

Thoughts?

We could simply shut it down and then ask people who come complaining to help. After all, they have a vital interest to do something about it. When I started the project, I just wanted to be able to provide Eclipse bundles to non-OSGi projects. The interest seemed to be there but frankly, I'm a software developer. I suck at organizing things. What I need is a project manager.

Regards,
