Seems like a bug to me. I did a quick look at the buildnumber Ant task source-code and didn't see the problem, so please create a JIRA ticket including your build.xml and Ant console output illustrating the problem.

I'm setting the prefix attribute on the *buildnumber *Ant task: <ivy:buildnumber organisation="${ivy.organisation}" module="${ivy.module}" default="${ivy.default.revision}" *prefix="repo" */> But when I go to manually output the properties that are set, I see: ivy-buildnumber: [echo] ivy:buildnumber output: [echo] ivy.revision=1.1 [echo] repo.revision=${repo.revision} You see that the default ivy.revision property gets set; the repo.revision property does not. Here's what the buildnumber documentation<http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/use/buildnumber.html>has to say about the prefix attribute: "the prefix to use for the property names set (will be *prefix*.revision, * prefix*.new.revision, ...)" Am I missing something or is this a bug?
