Keep older versions of ivy binaries for download
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-1291
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1291
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Martin von Gagern
            Priority: Minor


I've included code in my build files to automatically download ivy if it isn't 
already available on the target system. For this I had to hard-code the ivy 
version into the download URL, it was 2.1.0 back then. Now 2.2.0 is around, and 
what is worse, the 2.1.0 downloads are no longer available from 
http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivy/

Of course I could mirror ivy versions on my own web server. But I guess I might 
not be the only one who would benefit from having older versions available 
indefinitely. So the apache hosts would seem the ideal place to keep older 
versions as well. It is somewhat strange that the online documentation for 
older versions is readily available, but their downloads are not. Usually it is 
the other way round.
