Hi again, Please disregard that last e-mail. I found that you can give the revision option "latest" and it will resolve everything to their latest versions then the deliverto option will output the resolved file. I did not think this would work (and hadn't tried it before) because the help indicated that a specific revision was needed and I hadn't dug far enough into the revision code to find that was an option.
Sorry for the confusion, Mike N.

A bit of background, I'm working on piloting ivy for dependency management. We'd like to avoid Ant just for dependency resolution and getting artifacts. We've gotten a basic project getting dependencies using Ant. In it we use the following code to get an ivy-resolved.xml file: <ivy:resolve/> <ivy:deliver deliverpattern="ivy-resolved.xml"/> I have been working on getting the same thing working with the Ivy cli. While doing this I found that the command line interface does not have an equivalent of the deliver task above. It has a -deliverto option which only works with the -revision option which requires a specific revision (we want it to resolve to latest) or the -publish option which publishes to the artifact repository. I'd like to add the ability for it to work by itself resulting in an ivy.xml file with the given name or add a new deliver option (such as -deliver) which does that. Example usage would be: java -jar [ivy.jar] -settings [ivysettings.xml] -ivy [ivy.xml] -deliverto ivy-resolved.xml Or java -jar [ivy.jar] -settings [ivysettings.xml] -ivy [ivy.xml] -deliver ivy-resolved.xml If I did this and submitted the patch file back, would it be accepted with no ticket in the Jira system? If the patch would be accepted, is there a preference for what the command line option is called and its usage? Thanks, Mike N.
