I want to understand how suitable nexus is for storing my deb-source of apt packages (apt source <package>)
For proxying debian packages this works reliably, but if I want to add the source of my deb package (e.g. file source-package_1.0.tar.xz) I get error 503:
curl:
curl -u "$NEXUS_LOGIN:$NEXUS_PASS" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" --data-binary "@./source-package_1.0.tar.xz" "http://nexus.local:8081/repository/apt-repo/"

it seemed intuitively that it should work. I couldn’t find anything suitable in the documentation
I tried to do a normal curl upload but I’m not sure that the downloaded tar.xz file can be indexed as source destination.
