[maven] Mirroring maven repositories for oVirt
Since we all know that compiling oVirt on fedora for the first time downloads a very large amount of jars... We need to think about mirroring the maven repositories we're using. There are a few advantages for that: * closer and faster servers * better control over the servers, meaning if the original repos are down, ours can still be online. * there is a chance we can be temporarily blocked if too many d/l are bring done. (or if some user d/l the entire repo using wget for e.g.) here is info about mirroring from the maven site: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html Eyal Edri.

Eyal Edri. +1 - Sounds like a good idea.

The "closer" argument is subjective, and depends om your machine's current location. Having said that, I agree other arguments are valid enough for this to be worthy. I'd setup an artifactory or some similar service, which can host oVirt's own artifacts as well. -- /d "Willyoupleasehelpmefixmykeyboard?Thespacebarisbroken!"
