I'd like to propose that the new "builder" resolver be included in
ivy. In
order to do this however, other developers need to vote yes or no.
So I'd
ask that you please let the list know your opinion.
Quick summary:
The Builder Resolver is a new Ivy resolver that supports downloading,
extracting and repackaging (as necessary) artifacts on-demand. It
allows
for
a clearer separation between two jobs which don't necessarily go
together:
maintaining Ivy meta-data, and hosting the actual artifacts. In
addition,
it's easy to use the builder resolver to build a normal repository
containing artifacts.
The most important aspect of this new resolver is that it makes it
much
easier to create and maintain a public Ivy repository, something
that IMHO
is sorely lacking right now. And the Ivy RoundUp project is
already doing
just that (note Ivy RoundUp is a completely separate project from ivy
itself).

This has also been discussed recently in a couple of threads

and

).
Thanks for your feedback.
I'm +1 to include this in Ivy core. The patch is well written,
documented
and tested. More importantly, I think the work Archie has began on
the Ivy
roundup repository will be a great asset for the community, if
enough people
start using it. Integrating the builder resolver in Ivy core will
help drive
adoption of this new repository IMO.
For the same reasons I am in favor of adding it.
I have though some worries about adding new features, as I don't
manage to have a global and comprehensive view of every Ivy features.
On the other way I see that Archie is very active on Ivy, so I am
confident about the maintenance of this component.
So +1 for me.

The only thing I dislike with this resolver is its name. The
'builder' name
makes people think this resolver compiles modules, while it just
repackage
them if necessary. Hence I prefer to use another name.
