Hi Andy,

thank you for the feedback :-)
Could you please create separate JIRA tickets for each issue you have to make 
sure they won't be forgotten?

Maarten

Subject: Minor useability bugs in 2.0rc2

1. Additional attributes for post-resolve tasks are not obviously documented in 
retrieve, cachepath etc. I can understand not wanting to repeat the 
post-resolve documentation, but even having a link to them in the table would 
help things be a bit clearer IMO.

2. when using log="quiet" on cachepath and resolve the initial
resolution is done quietly but transitive dependencies appear to then be
resolved ignoring the log setting.

3. I think the comment about not using cachepaths should be removed. Once you 
have started using ivy its pretty difficult to remove and cachepaths allow you 
to optimize your time and space usage.

4. I wish, oh how I wish that dependency declarations used the same attributes 
as post-resolve tasks, i.e. org or organisation, but not both, rev or revision 
etc. I find this the single biggest confusing
part of ivy. I prefer the shorter names, but them just being the same would be 
a huge win.

5. The <publications/> trick should be augmented with some obvious attribute, 
like <info virtual-module="true"/> or something. Its a really useful feature 
but hugely difficult to figure out how to achieve.

rc2 is working pretty well for me.

Thanks!

andy
