IVY-593 is not really related to a releases. It is somehting we normally have to do before putting our sources in a public SVN. For that, we have to do what is described in [1]. That is, update the export page (requires site karma) and notify the US government. The problem that I have there is that I don't know how we should handle our sftp dependencies, and I don't know what we should do for jsch that we redistribute. I already tried to get some explanation on the legal list, but it just added some confusion.
Concerning IVY-586, IVY-616 (and maybe other maven related issue), I think it are show stopper for a 2.0 release that has as major new feature the support of the maven2 repository. Those bugs block the usage of an important number of modules in its dependencies. On of them is xml-apis, which is used by a huge number of other modules. See [2] for a non transitive list of user (there is a lot of commons, struts, dom4j, etc... that are themself very often used. Now, does that block a new beta release? I'm not sure. Anyway, I plan to look at IVY-586 before sunday. I will also have to use the second patch provided for IVY-616. If it is not yet applied, I will apply it (by the way, did you know a to apply a patch that has new file in it?)
