It doesn’t appear that Sonotype publishes the source for nexus-repository-yum-.jar on their GitHub sonatype/nexus-public: Sonatype Nexus Repository Open-source codebase mirror. If I am wrong and I just could not locate it, can someone please point to where it is? I was going to try to see if I could find and possibly correct the bug introduced in 3.75.0 or 3.76.0 which occurs when merging the metadata for yum group repositories.
The yum format is not one of the proprietary formats that are included with the sonatype distributed “OSS” bundles.
Is this a recent change by Sonatype?
All the yum repo options (hosted, proxy and group) certainly exist and are usable in Nexus OSS versions I have used.
No, this is not a recent change. The “OSS” edition of repo that Sonatype ships is just the “Pro” version without a license. Some of the proprietary features (like certain formats) are included and can be used without a license but they aren’t open source. The “OSS” version you build from nexus-public has a lot less stuff because it only contains the actual open source bits. It’s confusing I know.
Ok, I understand now. Thank you for the explanation.
