Ivy support?
Hi,
Are there any plans to add Ivy support (using the Ivy library for the
dependency resolution mechanism)?
The reason I'm asking is that I want to create a plugin to buildr that
will compile c++ modules and Ivy is better suited for handling
dependencies of such modules (since different configuraitons
(architectures) can point to different artifacts). For buildr, Ivy is a
subproject of Ant, so Ivy repositories may become popular and having
support for them will be good (of course Ivy support Maven repositories
also).
Thanks,
Ittay

I tried to concentrate most of the stuff related to packages in
lib/buildr/packaging.
artifact.rb deals with resolving, installing and otherwise messing with
Maven artifacts.
package.rb deals with packaging, that would be the place to generate
metadata when creating a package.

I can try. Can you give me some pointers where to start looking in the code?

I'm looking into OSGi support because you can carry dependencies to the
runtime, and it's an easier model than Maven that also translates well to
other package managers (Debian, Gems, etc).
I don't know if anyone is looking into Ivy support yet. Is that something
you can take charge of?
