Maarten Coene updated IVY-1158:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.2.0-RC1
(was: trunk)
> 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: 2.2.0-RC1
>
>
> 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]. )
