Build ordering?

[Nascif Abousalh-Neto <Na...@sas.com>]

Hi,

I am in process of integrating Ivy to a large enterprise build, and I am curious about your experience with the problem of ordering the build. We have to make sure we build the components from the bottom (no dependencies) up (most dependencies), and I was wondering if any of the Ivy tasks could be used to provide the topological order of the projects.

For example, does the output of ivy.resolve or ivy.report guarantees the ordering of the dependencies? 

Thanks,
  Nascif

The buildlist task does exactly what you want:
