Andy Seaborne updated IVY-908:
------------------------------
Does this include checking the documentation? The example of
"/path/to/repositiory" is from the documentation (various places) and it ivy
and any both say that using / or \ on windows does not matter. So a MS Windows
user (not just cygwin users) may be lead to think that "/path/to/something" is
going to be OK. Time will tell!
> UNIX-style filenames for paths to work on MS-Windows

> Key: IVY-908
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-908
> Project: Ivy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
> Environment: cywgin on MS Wondows.
> Reporter: Andy Seaborne
> Priority: Minor
>
> A file name /path/to/repository is not absolute on MS-Windows. A drive
> letter is needed.
> This is particularly confusing if using cygwin but is true when using Windows
> without cygwin ("/" is an acceptable path separator).
> Leads to less portability between Linux and Windows.
> In 2.0-RC-1, more paths must be absolute (e.g filesystem resolver artifact
> pattern, keyfile to sftp resolver).
