Marc Lustig commented on CONTINUUM-1693:
----------------------------------------
This task is already realized by Archiva.
Archiva offers options "Repository Purge By Days Older Than" and "Repository Purge By Retention
Count".
And for non-managed repos it's definately a Maven issue.
I suggest to close this ticket.
> Continuum fills our server disk with SNAPSHOTs.

> Key: CONTINUUM-1693
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1693
> Project: Continuum
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Geert Pante
> Fix For: 1.2

>
> Our Deployment Repository Directory fills our server disk with SNAPSHOTs after running
hourly builds for a couple of weeks.
> We have more or less a hundred applications configured in Continuum. A lot of them create
assemblies with all their dependencies embedded, so each snapshot deployed eats a couple of
megabytes. We also need hourly builds.
> We use 'maven clean deploy' to deploy these snapshots to a dedicated Archiva snapshot
repository. In Archiva, these snapshots get purged after a week, only keeping the last 2 or
3 snapshot versions.
> However, continuum always installs to the local repository first, before uploading them
to Archiva. This repository never gets purged. I was thinking to have Continuum use Archiva's
repository directly as internal repository, but I don't know if that's safe or not. Archiva
won't know these changes before it scans the repository again.
> I was also looking at maven-dependency-plugin:purge-local-repository, but that's not
exactly what we want. We just want to purge old snapshot versions when new snapshot versions
are installed. Maybe that could be a general Maven feature, but it is especially important
for Continuum.
