+ A managed repository is a repository which resides locally to the server where

+
+ Managed repository fields:
+
* <identifier> - the id of the repository. This must be unique.
-
+
* <name> - the name of the repository.
-
- * <directory> - the location of the repository. If the path specified does not exist, Archiva will create the missing
- directories.
-
- * <index directory> - the location of the index files generated by Archiva. If no location is specified, then the index directory
- (named <<<.indexer>>>) will be created at the root of the repository directory. Another directory named <<<.index>>> is also created
- at the root of the repository directory. This is not configurable though as it contains the packaged/bundled index which is consumed
- by different consumers of the index such as M2Eclipse.

-
- * <repository purge by days older> - the first option for repository purge. Archiva will check how old the artifact is
- and if it is older than the set number of days in this field, then the artifact will be deleted respecting the retention
- count (see #7) of course. In order to disable the purge by number of days old and set Archiva to purge by retention count, just set the

- below for more details.

* Scanning a Repository
-
- Repository scan can be executed on schedule or it can be explicitly executed by clicking the 'Scan Repository Now' button in
- the repositories page. By default, Archiva only processes new artifacts in the repository with respect to the last run of the
- repository scanner. Meaning that if the artifact's last modified date is newer than the last repository scan, then the artifact
- will be processed. Otherwise, it will be skipped. You can override this behavior and force Archiva to process all artifacts regardless
- of its age by ticking the 'Process All Artifacts' checkbox in the repositories page and clicking the 'Scan Repository Now' button.

* Repository Purge
- Repository purge is the process of cleaning up the repository of old snapshots. When deploying a snapshot to a repository,
- Maven deploys the project/artifact with a timestamped version. Doing daily/nightly builds of the project then tends to bloat
- the repository. What if the artifact is large? Then disk space will definitely be a problem. That's where Archiva's repository
- purge feature comes in. Given a criteria to use -- by the number of days old and by retention count, it would clean up the
- repository by removing old snapshots.

- if the by number of days old criteria is activated, the retention count would still be respected (See the Repository Purge By Days Older

[[1]] Repository Purge By Number of Days Older
-
- Using this criteria for the purge, Archiva will check how old an artifact is and if it is older than the set value in the
- repository purge by days older field, then the artifact will be deleted respecting the retention count of course.
-
- If repository purge by days older is set to 100 days (with repository purge by retention count field set to 1),
- and the current date is let's say 03-01-2007, given the scenario above.. the following artifacts will be retained:
- artifact-x-20070113.034619-3.jar, artifact-x-20070113.034619-3.pom, artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.jar and
- artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.pom. It is clear in the version timestamps that these 4 artifacts are not more than
- 100 days old from the current date (which is 03-01-2007 in our example) so they are all retained. In this case
- the retention count doesn't have any effect since the priority is the age of the artifact.
-
- Now, if the repository purge by days older is set to 30 days (with repository purge by retention count field still
- set to 1) and the current date is still 03-01-2007, then given the same scenario above.. only the following artifacts
- will be retained: artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.jar and artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.pom. In this case, we can see
- that the retained artifacts are still not older by the number of days set in the repository purge by days older field
- and the retention count is still met.
-
- Now, let's set the repository purge by days older to 10 days (with repository purge by retention count field still
- set to 1) and the current date is still 03-01-2007, then still given the same repository contents above.. the
- following artifacts will still be retained: artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.jar and artifact-x-20070203.028902-4.pom.
- It is clear from the version timestamps that the artifacts ARE MORE THAN the repository purge by days older value,
- which is 10 days. Why is it still retained? Recall the value of the repository purge by retention count -- 1 :)
- This ensures that there is ALWAYS 1 artifact timestamped version retained for every unique version snapshot directory
- of an artifact.

[[2]] Repository Purge By Retention Count
