Re: Resolving identical depedencies

Thanks for your detailed answer (even not intending to it ;-) You explanationwas very clear, expecially mentioning the replacedynamicrev option which in our case should be enough for now. If anybody recalls how to use the equivalent of lock files in Ivy (as you think it's possible) please let m

Resolving identical depedencies

2012-12-11 Thread Marcel Overdijk
When having dynamic properties in ivy.xml I wonder if it's possible to guarantee that identical dependencies are resolved on different systems/different builds. E.g. dependency hibernate 3.6.+ Which version will be resolved now? Does it check online what tha latest version is in the range, or d

Other input types then xml

Has the Ivy team ever considered supporting different input types then xml (ivy.xml). E.g. json or a specific Groovy DSL? Regards, Marcel -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Other-input-types-then-xml-tp34783890p34783890.html Sent from the ivy-user mailing list archive at Na

Martin, As we are also looking for alternatives that are a better fit, we are also considering Gradle. Gradle also has an experimental C++ plugin: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/cpp.html Something like this in theory it would mean you can use Gradle for both dependency resolving and bui

Ivy in C/C++ environment

2012-12-06 Thread Marcel Overdijk
I wonder if somebody has some pointers for using Ivy in a C/C++ environment. a) how is dependency management done (e.g. using custom resolver?) b) how is building done (based on on de Ivy dependencies) I'm not looking for a complete solution, just wat to start a discussion about possibilities o
