[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBBUILD-670) Migrate existing Nexus Audit information to standard XML format

Migrate existing Nexus Audit information to standard XML format --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBBUILD-670 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBBUILD-670 Project: JBoss Build System Issue Type: Task Components: Artifact Repositories Reporter: Paul Gier Assignee: Paul Gier Priority: Critical Fix For: Build Support 2012 Attachments: jboss-servlet-api-2.5.0.GA.jar, jboss-test-1.1.6-SNAPSHOT.pom.md5 We currently have audit information (username, timestamp) stored in .json files in the repository. Nexus uses an XML format to store this information, and recent versions of Nexus allow easy way to view this information in the Nexus UI. The existing audit information should be migrated to the standard Nexus XML format. These XML files are located in the directory "sonatype-work/nexus/proxy/attributes". For each file in each Maven repository hosted by Nexus, there is a file with the same name in this attributes directory. For example, "sonatype-work/nexus/proxy/attributes/jboss-releases/org/jboss/javaee/jboss-servlet-api/2.5.0.GA/jboss-servlet-api-2.5.0.GA.jar" is actually an XML file containing the attributes for the named jar file. Note: even though the files end with ".jar" or ".md5", they are actually XML files. The artifacts that were released before the original Nexus migration do not include a username in the XML file, although they do include a timestamp. This appears to be the file creation date. In the migration, these timestamps should be overwritten if possible. 1. Check whether the user field exists for a given file. 2. If it does not exist, copy the username and timestamp fields to the Nexus attribute file.
