1.7-B2 and Ivy

[Joachim Baumann]

Hi,

Groovy 1.7-B2 contains ivy-2.1.0-rc2.jar, Gant 1.8.1 contains
ivy-2.1.0.jar. Now the question is, can I safely pack ivy-2.1.0 for
Groovy instead of the rc2-version that is in the zip file? Or should I
instead remove the ivy-2.1.0 that is brought in by Gant?

Cheers, Joachim

If Ivy have been following proper release protocol then the only
difference between 2.1.0-rc2 and 2.1.0 is the name on the jar -- if
there are any changes is a release candidate then a new release
candidate should be issued so that the final release candidate is the
release.

I would go with 2.1.0 if at all possible so as to seem up to date.

I guess the test that has to happen is to make the change in the Groovy
branch and see if there are errors.

I am supposed to have gone an hour ago, so I can't try it out I'm
afraid.

Hi,

I have tried an installation with ivy-2.1.0.jar without problems, but I
didn't have the time for extensive tests.

I will use ivy-2.1.0.jar, and will add the RC2 jar to Supplementary/lib.
Additionally I'll place a text in the installed_versions.txt stating
that if there are any problems, the user should replace the jar with the
older one.

Cheers, Joachim

Sounds like a good plan.

Of course, it will never affect me, as I am a M$ Windows free zone :-)

The ivy-2.1.0.jar wasn't ready in time for beta-2 (1 or 2 days late
so nearly made it) but I have been using with trunk with no (new)
problems.

Cheers, Paul.
