Seems like I don't understand how revisions and statuses are connected. I start from the beginning:
Say there's an imaginary module "mymodule" in the repository: ivy-0.1-I2000.xml, with status 'integration' ivy-0.1-S2009.xml with status 'snapshot' Another module now declares a dependency on "mymodule", setting rev="latest.integration". When I now try to resolve this module's dependencies, ivy outputs something like this, (I shortened the output to show only the relevant stuff, and also obfuscated some names): using r1 to list all in XXX [ivy:retrieve] found 16 urls [ivy:retrieve] 4 matched C:/develop/ivy/repository/r1/myorg/mymodule/ivy-[revision].xml [ivy:retrieve] found revs: [0.1-I2000, 0.1-S2009] [ivy:retrieve] => C:\develop\ivy\repository\r1\myorg\mymodule\ivy-0.1-S2009.xml (0.1-S2009) ... [ivy:retrieve] ERROR: playw: unacceptable revision => was=0.1-S2009 required=latest.integration [ivy:retrieve] WARN: module not found: myorg#mymodule;latest.integration So the resolver correctly finds the 'latest revision of all', but then fails because this 'latest of all' does have status 'snapshot', not 'integration'. In my understanding, now the resolver should just try the next revision in the list (0.1-I2000) and suceed, but instead it just stops trying and fails. Why? Thanks for your help.
