Reuse repositories Blocks?

Old Forum

Is it possible to reuse the repository objects once they are set up?

I often find myself setting up repositories three times: Once for the buildscript block Once for the repositories block Once for the publishing block.

This seems silly. Ideally, you would be able to simply reference one object

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            name "repo1"
            url "someURL"
        }
        maven {
            name "repo2"
            url "anotherURL"
            credentials {
                username //... and so on
            }
        }
    }
}
  //Ideally you could do this, instead of duplicate the entire block
allprojects {
    repositories {
        use "repo1" "repo2"
    }
    publishing.repositories {
        use "repo2"
    }
}

Alternatively, something like: publishing.repositories = buildscript.repositories

Anything like this possible? I’ve been unable to find any way to do this besides maybe making a closure, which isn’t really reuse, just running the codeblock multiple times :stuck_out_tongue:
