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... Maarten > Make ivy.xml <conf description> available > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: IVY-1158 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1158 > Project: Ivy > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Ant > Reporter: Jan Matèrne > Assignee: Maarten Coene > Priority: Minor > Fix For: trunk > > > 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]. ) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
