How to get the reverse dependency tree
Good afternoon,
We need to gather this information from our Ivy repository:
Given a module name, organization, branch and revision, obtain all modules
that are directly or transitively dependent on that module (with branch and
revision).
How could we approach resolving that task? Is there any tool out there that
would do something like this? <repreport> has not been very helpful.
Best Regards,
Gabriel

You should also be aware of the reverse dependency explorer in IvyDE.

Hello Gabriel,
I am not aware of such a tool.
Maybe such a tool could be done inside the ivy codebase assuming that each repository implementation provides some sort of directory listing.
Did you search whether the particular repository implementation(s) that you are using have something like that ?
The web site mvnrepository.com seems to have implemented something like that since it is showing the dependees of an artifact
(probably based upon what is available in the maven central repository). This page http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.ant/ant/1.9.3 illustrates that where one can see some users of ant-launcher version 1.9.3
In the case of a maven type repository there are maven-metedata.xml files containing lists.
In the case of an ivy type repository I think you have to list the directories without any special helpers.
Regards,
Antoine
