ONAP is using 3 types of Nexus repos:
- Snapshot repo: used for merged artifactsartifacts from review branch and master that have not yet been verified by CSIT. After the committer has performed the code review (+2), has merged the code and the build is successful, the build artifact is within the submits a patch for review, the artifacts are built and pushed to the Snapshot repo. It is expected to have multiple snapshots for a single repo per day. All snapshot artifacts have same version number. The artifact triggers CSIT testing is triggered after successful snapshot artifact build.
- Staging repo: used for Release candidatesnapshot artifacts built from master that have passed CSIT and are valid candidates for Release. The Staging artifacts are used primarily by the Team for their own testing and for E2E Release testing. The Staging artifacts are not not meant for public consumption. Once a day, a new clean build is automatically performed (?). All Staging artifacts have same version number.
- Release repo: this is the place where the project Team (or Linux Foundation Releng Team) stores the artifacts that are deemed stabled for being consumed by the other project teams. Each team decides when to release. It is not expected to get a new release every day. No TSC approval is required for getting a new release artifact.
