Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-632:
----------------------------------

There's a workaround when you control your repository: use namespaces to keep the same organization.

But I agree this would be useful if you really changed your mind for the organization name. What could be done is put a file in the repository saying where the organization has been relocated, and when (which version). Kind of redirect.

> It is possible that the organisation has been changed when a new version of a module is released.
> For instance:
> ant 1.6.x -> organisation = "ant"
> ant 1.7.x -> orgnaisation = "org.apache.ant"
> This makes it difficult when you have dynamic revisions like this:
> <dependency org="ant" module="ant" rev="[1.6, 1.7]" />
> which will only find the latest 1.6.x revision
> It would be a nice feature if this use case could be supported by Ivy.
