Ivy shared repository tracking

[Jammy Chen <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hello

I have question need your guys help. for example, for my product previous
release, we used 3rd party lib A version 1.0 and it store in the
repository, but for current or next release, we may uptake to 3rd party lib
A version 2.0 or replace to another open source, in this case we need
remove 3rd party lib A version 1.0 from the repository?

if Yes, the previous release build will not work as 1.0 is not available.
If no, how do I track the libs in repository and is they are being used?

Thanks

There is no need to remove old versions unless you are low on space.  In
my case, I always leave the old versions in my internal repository and
just update my projects to use the new versions.  If I have to switch to
developing on an old branch that depended on old versions of libraries,
then they are still available and everything still builds.  New
development depends on the new versions and everything works very will
in that way.

However, for 3rd party or open source libraries I always specify an
explicit release version.  For internal libraries I usually just leave
it as latest.integration except when making a production release where I
will switch it to a specific release version of the internal libraries
as well.

Regards,
