publish overwrite

[Bourzeix, Hervé <He...@Genesys.com>]

Using ivy 1.4.1, 

to publish artifacts in my build system, here is the steps I do
- change the ivy file of the project 
- call a publish task with forcedeliver to true and overwrite to false

My issue is: sometime I forgot to change the revision in my ivy file and I publish. Using overwrite, I thought I would be safe, because already published artifacts will not be updated, but that's not the case.

Is overwrite do what I think it shoudl do ? 
What should I change in my build system to have the revision incremented automatically ? 
=> use a buildnumber task and affect it to the ivy.revision property? is this a good solution ? 

thx

I'm surprised, because it should work, I think there's a junit test for
that. Please open an issue in JIRA, and try to describe your settings (
ivyconf.xml) with precision, and attache the relevant part of your debug log
if possible.

Yes, use the buildnumber, it is meant for that. But beware it is not safe if
multiple user ask for a new revision number at the same time.
