Proxying SNAPSHOT repositories

[vkbhaskar]

I have setup Archiva Managed Internal Repository as my whole and sole mirror in my settings.xml.
The settings.xml does not contain any other repository information, just the mirror entry .

The Archiva Manged Internal Repository is set to proxy 4/5 external repositories,
One of which contains certain SNAPSHOTs that I have as dependencies.

The proxy connector for this repository has snapshot policy set to "always", I also tried
"daily", "hourly". But the SNAPSHOT is never downloaded any my build fails.

The log files show no special activity, how do I debug this issue ?

I've been seeing this also - I'm not yet sure of the conditions under
which they don't work. I have seen it work for the majority of
snapshots - but particularly those with long versions beforehand seem
problematic.

I intend to investigate next week - if you can create an issue that'd
be helpful.

Cheers,
Brett

Found the problem.
The culprit seems to be Maven 2.0.7+. It has problems with SNAPSHOT dependency resolution with mirrorOf set tp *.

The solution is outlined here.

I did as the post suggested and it worked.
May be this should end up on the WIKI, or archiva proxy setup guide.

thanks
