Maarten Coene resolved IVY-1158.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: trunk
         Assignee: Maarten Coene

I've implemented your first RFE in trunk.
After running the <ivy:info /> task, the descriptions are availabe as 
"ivy.configuration.[config name].desc".

Regarding your second RFE, I think this is too specific to add to Ivy. And you 
can easily do it with ant-contrib as you illustrated in your example build.xml, 
something like this:

{noformat}
<ivy:info file="ivy.xml" />
<ac:for list="${ivy.configurations}" param="conf">
    <sequential>
        <echo file="lib/@{conf}/.readme.txt" 
message="${ivy.configurati...@{conf}.desc}"/>
    </sequential>
</ac:for>
{noformat}

But please reopen if you don't agree...

> You can (an IMHO should) write an explanation of the configuration in the ivy 
> file
> <ivy-module version="2.0">
>     <configurations>
>         <conf name="runtime" description="Runtime Libraries"/>
>     </configurations>
> </ivy-module>
> The Ant task <ivy:info/> makes the names names available, but not the 
> descriptions. 
> So the first RFE is making them available (accoding to 
> 'infotest.configurations') as 'infotest.configuration.descriptions'.
> Another RFE is enhanding <ivy:retrieve/> to create a describing file in the 
> destination directory which contains this information.
> E.e. with Ivy pattern lib/[conf]/[artifact].[ext] you would create with 
> <ivy:retrieve descriptionfile="readme.txt"/> a file lib/runtime/readme.txt 
> with content "Runtime Libraries".
> (!! Recreate old files, but beware that multiple confs could result in the 
> same dir if the ivy pattern doesnt contain a [conf]. )
