Re: Easyant bootstrap doesn't build

[Jean-Louis Boudart <je...@gmail.com>]

Due to a disk crash, the server hosting blog.easyant.org and
repository.easyant.org was offline. Everything has been restored (we only
lost the wordpress theme of our blog) and the service is now back to normal.
I've manually uploaded all plugins, buildtypes and skeletons on
repository.easyant.org from easyant 0.8 release base to a "legacy
repository", so we can remove update our ivysettings.xml as explained in my
previous mail to fetch them from there.

If you want to configure it you can use the "Ivy settings generation"
feature accessible on the home page of http://repository.easyant.org.
