I am trying to figure out namespace support in Ivy. We have the following issue.
We use 3rd party C++ libraries that we place in our repository (nexus). The
problem is that these libraries all have names like libsomething-c++ and nexus
won't allow characters like '+' in artifact names. As such we have to store them
as libsomething-cpp.
I was hoping that namespaces in Ivy would allow us to convert from one name to
the other. That is to say, I want the following dependency in my Ivy file:
<dependency org="org" name="libsomething-c++" rev="1.0" >
<artifact name="libsomething-c++" e:classifier="linux" ext="so" type="bin"
/>
</dependency>
And have Ivy automatically get libsomething-cpp from the repository and
translate it to libsomething-c++. I tried the following in my settings file
<namespaces>
<namespace name="c++">
<rule>
<fromsystem>
<src module="libsomething\-c\+\+"/>
<dest module="libsomething-cpp"/>
</fromsystem>
<tosystem>
<src module="libsomething\-cpp"/>
<dest module="libsomething-c++"/>
</tosystem>
</rule>
</namespace>
</namespaces>
But this didn't work. Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
cheers
