Maven repository config variables must specify a username and password

[vorburger]

https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/public/ and http://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/ are examples of Nexus Maven repositories which host artifacts from a (large) particular open source community, but which does not require authentication.

Currently, setting the Maven repository URL config variable on https://app.dependabot.com/accounts/vorburger/repos (global only; see #503) refuses this with an error saying "Maven repository config variables must specify a username and password", thus apparently insisting that any other Maven repo than central must have both a URL and uid/pwd - which is not, neccessarily, the case.

Sorry about that. I'll get this fixed tomorrow morning - it's a bank holiday here today. 🙂

This should now be fixed. Can you let me know if you have any problems?

[vorburger]

I've just been able to set https://nexus.opendaylight.org/content/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/ as Maven repository URL config variable on https://app.dependabot.com/accounts/vorburger/repos without username and password, so it looks like this works.
