Antoine Toulme commented on BUILDR-274:
---------------------------------------
To clarify, we didn't have transitive() back when I commented on this issue.
I respectfully disagree that your "true dependencies are almost never a single
specific version".
* You want your build to be reproducible
* You need to define all the approximations you introduce - true dependencies,
almost never, single specific.
"just guarantees that people trying to use both your code and some other
person's will get clashes at resolution-time."
Please elaborate.
Please continue the discussion on the user list.
> Support dependency version ranges for transitive dependencies
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: BUILDR-274
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-274

>
> It seems that right now dependency version ranges as shown here [1] are not
> supported.
> A version range is e.g. used by ehcache-web ([2]), so that when I use
> transitive('net.sf.ehcache:ehcache-web:jar:1.6.0-beta2')
> buildr fails with this error:
> Failed to download net.sf.ehcache:ehcache:pom:[1.6.0-beta4,], tried the
> following repositories...
> It would be great to have support for version ranges, otherwise some libs
> cannot be used with transitive().
