How do I use it?

Build

• Clone the project:
  • git clone https://github.com/sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-repository-apt
• Build the plugin:
  • cd nexus-repository
  • mvn

Install

• Stop Nexus:

  • service nexus stop or
  • cd <nexus_dir>/bin
  • ./nexus stop

• Enable Nexus console: edit <nexus_dir>/bin/nexus.vmoptions and change karaf.startLocalConsole to true.

  • More details here: http://books.sonatype.com/nexus-book/3.0/reference/bundle-development.html

• Run Nexus’ console:

  • # sudo su - nexus
  • $ cd <nexus_dir>/bin
  • $ ./nexus run
  • > bundle:install file:///tmp/nexus-repository-apt-1.0.2.jar
  • > bundle:list (look for net.staticsnow:nexus-repository-apt ID, should be the last one)
  • > bundle:start <net.staticsnow:nexus-repository-apt ID>

Manually upload a package to a newly created repo:

curl -u user:pass -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" --data-binary "@package.deb" http://nexus_url:8081/repository/repo_name/

These are third-party contributions and are awesome. However, it is worth noting that they are NOT SUPPORTED by Sonatype, and if any support does exist, it will be through the contributor themselves.

Where do I get this?

Who can I contact about it?
