[14:18:38 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> I am often working on portals that use different RDBMSes for different environments
[14:47:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so the apache repo isn't just down
[14:47:15 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> but it is returning bad status codes
[14:47:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which is causing the problem
[14:47:28 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> yes
[14:47:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> find all files in your repo named maven-metadata-apache-snapshots.xml
[14:47:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and delete them
[14:48:02 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> i found that commenting out the snapshots repo would allow me to build
[14:48:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> good
[14:48:43 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills1> i tried about a dozen other things first
