It looks like .gradle contains a similar dependency repository as the one Maven stores under .m2/repository. So we're indeed wasting some space by duplication there. According to this:
Gradle has good reasons to not store things in the Maven repository. That seems reasonable, so we might indeed want to clear this regularly.
- How regularly, weekly?
- It's a Maven artifact cache. Shall we clear .m2/* as well? I think they should be treated equally.
Regarding MySQL: moving the data is certainly an option, but we could also simply reconfigure it to not allow so much growing. |
