Versioning and description in raw repository

post by thomas.handl on Feb 16, 2022

Hi there,

I currently use the raw repository as a repository for all possible file formats. Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to version this data in raw and to write a short description of it. Is there a way to do this in a raw repository via API? Or would another type of Nexus Repository be better suited for these use cases?

Thanks a lot!

With Nexus Pro, you might be able to use the tagging feature which allows you to attach metadata.

Otherwise you’d want to write your own plugin.
