Minor Description
As a note of inconsistency when you request <npmrepoid>/-/all from Nexus, it returns a package list for every package available, which includes a root package "-"
{
"name": "-",
"description": "NX registry root package",
"versions": {
"0.0.0": "latest"
},
"dist-tags": {
"latest": "0.0.0"
}
}
The official registries don't identify such a package.
In cases where a tool wishes to request metadata for packages from Nexus, making the following request, always returns 404 not found:
> curl -4 http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/groups/npm/-
<html>
<head>
<title>404 - Path /- not found in group repository "npm" [id=npm].</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://localhost:8081/nexus/favicon.png">
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://localhost:8081/nexus/favicon.ico"/>
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost:8081/nexus/static/css/Sonatype-content.css?2.11.2-SNAPSHOT" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<h1>404 - Path /- not found in group repository "npm" [id=npm].</h1>
<p>Path /- not found in group repository "npm" [id=npm].</p>
</body>
</html>
Expected: Nexus should not include the "-" package entry in the response to GET /-/all metadata.
