If I am understanding your question correctly, this is already supported by IVY with the addition of configuration intersection. I requested this feature last year and Xavier added it last year. You specify multiple configurations for each "dimension" or "axis" and you can intersect those "dimensions" to only get the artifact that belong in both of the intersected configurations.
If you search the user forum with nabble or something and look for configuration intersection, you can probably find my posts. The IVY documentation has information on this feature. --- Shawn Castrianni -----Original Message----- From: dek577 [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 3:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: advanced ivy retrieve syntax The following is also on my wishlist.
