Local Repositories removed? How to add additional local repository?

[dupondje]

Hi,

I was looking for a way to add a additional local (local folder) repository during build time from within a rpm spec.
Now I tested by adding the path to resolverSettings/localRepositories/repository.
But that didn't seem to do anything.

Now I looked up some more in the code, and found the following commit:
85576da

Does that mean localRepositories should in fact be removed from the configuration also?
Cause it's still there but it seems to do nothing at all ...

And if that should indeed get removed, how can we now properly add an additional repository?

You are right that resolverSettings/localRepositories configuration is not used by anything in XMvn.
It is a relict from a very ancient past (pre-2013) and it should be removed.

Additional repositories can be defined via standard Maven POM using file:// protocol:

<project>
  ...
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>my-local-repo</id>
      <url>file:///path/to/repo</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  ...
</project>

Does this help?

@mizdebsk : Thanks for the response! At least I know I'm not doing anything wrong with the localRepositories setting then :)

I've tried with the file:// repository in the pom, but even to use a file:// respository, you need to use online builds.
Thing is, I would like to have offline (rpm) builds, but with the maven dependencies being all in 1 rpm package.

So let's say all dependencies are in /usr/share/project-deps/repository, I would like to point the maven build system to that path to get all the dependencies. And forcing it's offline, cause it should not get builds from externally (ex maven central).
