[jira] Created: (IVY-850) Checksums can be defined in ivy.xml files

Checksums can be defined in ivy.xml files
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-850
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-850
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
            Reporter: Paul Mackay
            Priority: Minor


Ivy currently supports verifying files using separate checksum files present in the same location as the artifacts.  It would also be useful to support defining the checksum inline as an attribute of an artifact. For some users this could be a preferable way to store the checksum information. It is something we would find useful and one other person on the mailing list commented that it was a good idea. There were no negative comments.

[jira] Commented: (IVY-850) Checksums can be defined in ivy.xml files

Posted by "Zachary Bedell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-850?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12766651#action_12766651 ] 

Zachary Bedell commented on IVY-850:
------------------------------------

As an extension to this item, signing an ivy.xml with XML-DSIG elements could allow for cryptographic certification of an entire ivy publication.  Signing the XML with embedded checksums would cover the artifacts without requiring JAR signing (and also allowing non-JAR publications to be certified).

The necessary elements could fit under the xs:any allowance currently under /ivy-module/info/ or perhaps be given their own explicit elements in the schema.
