Hi Gilles
A "minimal" ivy repository is two files - an ivy.xml file describing an
artifact and the artifact itself. You then need to make sure that the
folder layout corresponds to the ivy patterns that you are using with
that repository. The default for organisation = org.myproject and module
= 'mymod' with a jar
at version 0.1.2 would be:
<repostiory base> (as declared in the filesystem resolver)
org.myproject
mymod
ivys
ivy.xml
ivy.xml.md5
ivy.xml.sha1
jars
mymod-0.1.2.jar
mymod-0.1.2.jar.md5
mymod-0.1.2.jar.sha1
If you have something like this and you are getting errors, you need to
check the ivy patterns that you are using. The MD5 and SHA1 checksums
are I believe required by default but you can select one, both or
neither by appropriate settings in the ivy properties files.
I've recently built a large enterprise repository by using ant tasks to
install from maven and/or copy over jars and hand-edited ivy files from
the local filing system. Its a bit tedious (in fact, I'm working on
automating the whole thing) but it works.

Hi.
How can one build a "filesystem" repository manually?
I tried to create a directory structure and put jar files there, but
"ivy:resolve" didn't seem to make any sense out of it (e.g. saying it
couldn't find an artifact which was there...)
Is there a manual explaining all the items required for creating a minimal
but complete repository?
Thanks,
Gilles
