Using Cocoons Maven repo
At Apache Forrest we are moving towards an ivy managed build system.
Most of our dependencies come from Cocoon, which uses Maven2. We can
therefore get the majority of our jars from either:
http://people.apache.org/repository
or
http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository
However, I just can't seem to set up my ivyconf correctly to use these
repos. Can someone tell me what the resolver config should look like for
the above two Maven2 repositories.
Thanks,
Ross

So do I :-)
But I think I got it now:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<ivyrep name="apache" />
<ivyrep name="apache-snapshot" />
<ivyrep name="ivyrep" />
<ivyrep name="ivyrepsandbox" />
<ibiblio name="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
In your chain you do not reference the resolvers you declare above, but you
create new ones. You should use ref instead of name in the resolvers
declared under the chain:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<ivyrep ref="apache" />
<ivyrep ref="apache-snapshot" />
<ivyrep ref="ivyrep" />
<ivyrep ref="ivyrepsandbox" />
<ibiblio ref="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
Note that you can even declare references without their type:
<chain name="default" returnFirst="true">
<resolver ref="local" />
<resolver ref="apache" />
<resolver ref="apache-snapshot" />
<resolver ref="ivyrep" />
<resolver ref="ivyrepsandbox" />
<resolver ref="ibiblio-maven2" />
</chain>
What could be improved in Ivy is to output a something at least in verbose
mode when you override a resolver definition (give a name for which a
definition already exist). You can open a JIRA issue for that if you want.
Hope things will be clearer now, and enjoy your use of Ivy :-)

The original ivyconf.xml can be seen at

You're suggestion got us working just fine, so I'm not too worried, but
I'd like to understand the problem.

Mmm, it's difficult to say, I'd need you whole ivyconf.xml to be sure,
because with only the resolvers section I can't be sure Ivy was actually
using your chain.
With what you provide here I see an error: your chain references an 'apache'
resolver which is not defined. But I don't believe it's the origin of the
problem, because in this case Ivy should raise an error.

OK, I had previously set it up like this:
<resolvers>
<ibiblio name="regular" root="http://people.apache.org/repository"/>
<ibiblio name="snapshot" root="
http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository" m2compatible="true"/>
<chain name="default">
<ibiblio name="apache"/>
<ibiblio name="snapshot"/>
</chain>
</resolvers>
This was causing the both repositories to go off to the ibiblio
repository. I played around with using ivyrep tags and various
combinations as well, but always the same effect.
Changing to what you suggest above worked just fine.
If this stupid user error or a bug? (i.e. wrong assumptions in what I
had seen in the docs)

According to what I see in these repos, it seems that the first one is a
maven 1 repo and the second is a maven2 one. So I think you should be able
to use them like this:
<ivyconf>
<conf defaultResolver="apache" />
<resolvers>
<chain name="apache">
<ibiblio name="regular" root="http://people.apache.org/repository"
/>
<ibiblio name="snapshot" root="
http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository" m2compatible="true" />
</chain>
</resolvers>
</ivyconf>
Hope this helps,
