Hi, Ivy is still packaged with the ivyrep resolver, which is even used by the default settings. The problem is that the official ivy repository is no more maintained, and I think that people starting using Ivy now would prefer using the maven2 repository with their poms, instead of what can be found in the small ivyrep. Another problem is conflictual namespaces, because maven2 and ivyrep do not share the same naming conventions, it makes it harder to use the two together (even if Ivy namespace feature makes it possible).
So I think we should better use a maven 2 resolver (i.e. ibiblio with m2compatible set to true) in the default settings as the default public resolver, and deprecate the use of ivyrep without specifying the root. What do you think? - Xavier
