Maarten Coene commented on IVY-1195:
------------------------------------

I think this should be a feature of your buildserver that should not start building "app" if "lib" is currently being build (or queued for building).

> I'm requesting a retrying resolver.
> *description*
> Retrying resolver delegates resolution to configured child resolver. If child resolver fails, if requests child to perform a resolution again after some time.
> *example*
> {code}
> <resolvers>
>   <retry name="default" timeout="5m" start="10s" exp="1.5">
>     <svn .../>
>   </retry>
> </resolvers>
> {code}
> In the example above, "default" resolver will try call SVN resolver to resolve dependencies, if SVN resolver fails, it will be called again after 10s, then after 15s, then after 27s, and so on, but not after 5 minutes after resolver start.
> *motivation*
> We have build server, that builds projects right after commit. Projects depend on concrete revisions of another projects, revisions are specified in ivy.xml (say, "app" depends on "lib"). Sometimes developers commit to dependent project  "app" immediately after commit to the base project "lib". And in this case there is a high chance, that base project "lib" is not yet built (so artifact is not published) at the time of dependent project "app" ivy:resolve task run. So build of dependent project "app" fails.
> Retry task could resolve this situation: dependent project "app" build start will be delayed until completion of "lib" build.
