Hi! I am trying to setup an enterprise repository using ivy. My problem is how to externalize ivysettings.xml from projects. I don't e.g. want there to be any absolute paths in the build file to ivysettings.xml. This is something that should be localy configured for each user/machine. A user might e.g. chose to use a copy of the company repository when working offline and accessing it via a URL normally. Also I have to take into account that some users use unix/linux and others windows. There might e.g. differences in how paths are managed.
I have thought about overriding the default ivysettings.xml and I have read how to change the default settings, but it does not say how to make use of them here(!): http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/tutorial/defaultconf.html I tried creating a new ivysettings.xml in my .ivy2 folder, but that does not appear to work. I know that I could unpack the ivy.jar file and change the default settings in there, but that cannot be the expected way? Also I can use the configure or settings task in ant, but the problem then is that the path has to be absolute (something that was not the case prior to ivy 2.1). Is there any location that Ivy looks for an ivysettings.xml outside of the ivy.jar by default that I can make use of, or is there e.g. an environment variable I can set for forcing it to do so? / Fredrik (2009-10-19).
