Retain original dependency constraint rules in resolved ivy file
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-739
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-739
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Shawn Castrianni
ivy file metadata is lost when an ivy file is delivered since it resolves all
constraint rules into specific revision numbers for publishing. This metadata
should be retained by allowing a new attribute on the dependency tag, perhaps
called "original". Then deliver can resolve all constraint rules to place in
the rev attribute but retain the original rule in the original attribute.
I am not exactly sure if this is how it should be implemented but it shows the
idea. Here is another explanation:
> keep two versions
> information per dependency when publishing to the repository : the
> original version constraint, and the version that was used when the
> module was published.
