I want to have the Ivy file published in the repository, but I don't need
the intermediate copy in the dist/ folder
(or anywhere else). I would have expected that the Ivy file would be
- put into the cache
- published to the repository
I don't need the third copy :-) I understand that some people might want
to programmatically validate or even
modify the file before publishing, but I don't have such needs (yet).
Cheers

That's good news! Am I understanding that you don't want the resolved
Ivy file at all?
In that case can you just set publishivy="false" on the publish task?
