Let's say I have 5 configurations and 50 artifacts in my ivy.xml file. Let's say all artifacts are valid for all configurations so I don't specify a conf on anything since the default is *. Now let's say I introduce a new configuration that only 1 artifact belongs to. Now I have to change all 49 artifacts and add a conf="conf1,conf2,conf3,conf4,conf5" since the default of * would now include the 6th configuration that I just added. That is a pain.
It would be better to add a defaultconf attribute on the publications tag so that a missing conf attribute would default to the defaultconf instead of *. --- Shawn Castrianni ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail, including any attached files, may contain confidential and privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
