No packages/pool folder generation

[Marc Magnin]

Plugin v1.0.9 | Nexus v3.14.0

• What are you trying to do?
  Install a deb package that has been pushed to nexus apt repo
  The following curl to deploy the deb seems ok:

curl -v -u 'user:pass' -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" --data-binary "@/path/to/file.deb" http://nexus/repository/repo-apt/

The folder structure seem correct and the Release/Package files looks ok:

But for some reason none of the packages are actually there. When we try to install the package via apt, we get the following:

Err:1 http://nexus/repo/repo-apt xenial/main amd64 app_test amd64 1.0.69
  404  pool/a/app_test/app_test_1.0.69_amd64.deb
E: Failed to fetch http://nexus/repo/repo-apt/pool/a/app_test_1/app_test_1_1.0.69_amd64.deb  404  pool/a/app_test_1/app_test_1_1.0.69_amd64.deb

Many thanks for your help!

Ok we find out that a 0 was specified in the nexus repo setup form for the number of package versions to keep. I think the plugin should somehow secure against zeros or negative values ;)
