definition of ivy.deps.changed property unclear
-----------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-432
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-432
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Ant
Affects Versions: 1.4.1
Reporter: Maarten Coene
After a resolve in Ant, the "ivy.deps.changed" property is set to "true"
or "false".
According to the documentation, the definition of this property is: _An
additional property is set to true if there are changes since the last
resolve, and to false otherwise_
(see http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/doc/use/resolve.html)
The the current implementation doesn't notice changes in the resolved
module, like changes to extra attributes, branch, ...
But, the name of the property suggests that only changes to the resolved
dependencies are considered.
So, we must either correct the code or be more precise in the
documentation.
Can't comment on the issuefor the moment...
I think we should better fix the doc, because this property is used to know
if dependencies have changed. If somebody needs a property to indicate if
anything has changed, I think we should better open another issue and name
the property differently.
