Subject: timestamped snapshots
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

There have recently been issues with the snapshot repository because it 
was running low on space and so any snapshot older than 30 days was 
deleted across the board.  One reason given for the rapid growth in the 
repository size was due to projects using timestamped snapshots.  It was 
stated that using timestamped repos in general was wrong for the apache 
snapshot repo.  Geronimo uses timestamped snapshots.

Myfaces was listed as an example of doing things "the right way" 
(http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/myfaces/orchestra/myfaces-orchestra-core/1.3-SNAPSHOT/).

Does anybody know how we can remove the timestamps (assuming they are 
not needed for any particular reason)?

Joe
