The usual solution when a file is too large for email is to put the file on a 
web storage service and send a download link to it. I've used Google Drive for 
the purpose, but anything that would let you generate a link that others could 
download from would do the job.

Hi



I tried to send you a mail with a tar zipped file attached but it was rejected 
because of the size of the file.

How can I proceed to provide you with this file?

Thanks

Gary> It sounds like your build does not set a version for xalan:xalan



Gary, the build failure ends with "Failed to collect dependencies at 
xalan:xalan:jar:[2.7.2]",

so it looks like they do look for a specific 2.7.2 version.



It might be indeed a bit strange that the resolver checks 
xalan/xalan/maven-metadata.xml,

however, nothing says "maven-metadata.xml can be stale": 
https://maven.apache.org/repositories/metadata.html 
[maven.apache.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/maven.apache.org/repositories/metadata.html__;!!ApAMwfxt6g!-0kN-BDY0N3DyF6JBpBltkjGm3u5oV52gfTRxXp5sM7HgmUg2yDhCEI34YYYNGKZKvbhC_i5-GzwCv3qCzPUS9s57nKyPLg$>



At the same time, it looks like Apache Ivy uses maven-metadata.xml by default 
(see useMavenMetadata):

https://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.5.0/resolver/ibiblio.html 
[ant.apache.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.5.0/resolver/ibiblio.html__;!!ApAMwfxt6g!-0kN-BDY0N3DyF6JBpBltkjGm3u5oV52gfTRxXp5sM7HgmUg2yDhCEI34YYYNGKZKvbhC_i5-GzwCv3qCzPUS9s5XmQmPv8$>



Alexander>Also, the depencency on serializer and xerces is no longer listed



Alexander, It is a known issue: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2649 
[issues.apache.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2649__;!!ApAMwfxt6g!-0kN-BDY0N3DyF6JBpBltkjGm3u5oV52gfTRxXp5sM7HgmUg2yDhCEI34YYYNGKZKvbhC_i5-GzwCv3qCzPUS9s5BbJVfQI$>



Alexander>Is there a way for us to keep using xalan 2.7.2 in our release 
branches?



As a workaround, you might try adding useMavenMetadata="false" to your Ivy 
configs (I've no clue if it really helps or not).

However, it would help if you could share a small reproducer (e.g. Ant+Ivy file 
that fails to resolve Xalan 2.7.2)
