There's already a JIRA to accept directories as artifact (IVY-209), vote for
it, and it may come close to the most requested feature!

ATM the workaround often suggested is to zip the directory before publish,
and unzip after resolve / retrieve.

Difficult to guess, it depends on voluntary involvment only... but we're
getting closer and closer :-)

RE: Directories as artifacts

[Bourzeix, Hervé <He...@Genesys.com>]

Hello,

I have an application that I have to distribute with its libaries. As I use ivy, i need to package the ivy repository with. The application is in charge of launching several applications. To get correct classpath required by each application I use ivy configurations. My concern is resolve operation cache the artifact and duplicate for nothing all in the cache.

Is there a way to disable the artifact caching ? 

Workaround was to set the local repository to the cache itself. But this workaround doesn't work anymore for some reasons.

I am using ivy 1.4.1


When will be ivy 2 and ivyde 2 release? 


regards,
