There is a library I am going to use as an example.
<dependency org="skaringa" name="skaringa" rev="r1p8"/>
Ivy downloads it from
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/skaringa/skaringa/r1p8/skaringa-r1p8.jar
the library info: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/skaringa/skaringa/r1p8
The library timestamp is 01-Aug-2005, as stated on the remote repo
If I download it with wget the timestamp date is 01-Aug-2005
wget -U Mozilla
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/skaringa/skaringa/r1p8/skaringa-r1p8.jar
Ivy downloads it and changes its timestamp to the current download date.
Is it possible to ivy to retain the original date ?
Thanks
