Kariem Hussein commented on MNG-3472:
-------------------------------------

I have to agree with Andrus and David. The question is not how to configure maven to point to a local repository, but to configure maven to manage the space used by the local repository. The repository is maven's responsibility and should not be handled by external tools.

As can be seen from the linked issue CONTINUUM-1693 (referring to CONTINUUM-782), projects relying on maven have to build workarounds to handle this.

What can be done to raise awareness and reopen this ticket? What is needed to include something like this?

> it would be great to make repository-size configurable, for instance by setting the maximum number of downloads of a snapshot-version to be kept. thus the explosion of local repository size can be reduced.
> especially when you are working with many in-house multi-module projects which are marked as snapshots before released , can increase repository size significantly.
