I work on an application primarily written in C++ and we've been searching for a better dependency management system. We'll have to write something if we can't find a suitable alternative.
Looking at ivy, it appears to have all the features we need (transitive dependencies, multiple package repository support, multiple configuration support, etc.) However, I'm wondering if I can use it for non-java projects. We have a bunch of .zip files with pre-built libraries and include files. We'd need to have ivy download and unzip them to a workspace where our existing build system can locate them. Is this something that's easy to accomplish? Where should I start looking? I've read enough to believe that the standalone ivy (without ant) is probably what I need but I'm not sure how to go about configuring ivy to perform the unzip. ------------------ Trevor R.H.
