Checking for an already published revision

[Frank Kemmer <fr...@gmail.com>]

Since nobody is interested in answering my harder questions, here a
simple one (I hope ... :)

What is the best way to let an ivy:publish fail if the revision given
as an attribute to the publish does already exist in the repository.

I would have loved an attribute for ivy:publish like
failOnRevisionExists="true".

Since I didn't find such a flag and couldn't configure the repository
resolver to reject this publication, I am wondering if I should use
findrevision and then check if the resolution is successful. If so, I
would fail with a message like: "Revisision already exists in
repository".

Does anybody have some better suggestions?

Thanx for any help in advance.

Your requirements make sense.  Unfortunately, I see only one alternative to
the solution you propose.  I hope you will like it.  You can get the source
from svn, make the modification and attach a patch to a jira issue.
Don't hesitate to ask for help if you want to do that.  I'm sure you will
receive a quicker response than to your previous question.
