Hi Jason,
my problem is that I do not want to have the ivy.xml inside the dist/
directory.
For some of the projects, I do not even have a separate dist/ directory.
That's
why I point srcivypattern to a temporary location.
But I thought that srcivypattern should actually point to an existing
file, i.e.
the copy that I would manually create.
I'll check if Ivy will indeed create that copy automatically for me. IMHO
'srcivypattern'
is a bit of a misnomer then. "source" for being published, but "dest" for
delivery.
Thanks again,
Carsten

Hey Carsten,
With option 2 are you already specifying the srcivypattern? In theory if
you've already called resolve, and you specify the srcivypattern for
publish pointing to a non-existent location e.g.
/home/carsten/projects/projectx/dist/ivy.xml
Ivy should use the source file (/home/carsten/projects/projectx/ivy.xml)
from your <resolve> task and deliver the resolved ivy.xml to your dist
folder without the temporary copy step.
