Personally, if I need to do this sort of thing, I delete the specific
module from the ivy cache (ie: rm
~/.ivy2/cache/[organization]/[name]/*). Then it's not as painful for
developers who are working over the VPN.
There's probably a better way to do this, though, that somebody else
will know ;).

Hi all,
I have an Ivy repository where we store all our 3rd party libraries. One of
these is a large C# UI component library that comprises 100+ DLLs. In reality
we only need about 10-15 of those DLLs but we sometimes need additional ones
added as we use new functionality. This isn't a version change as the version
of the library we use doesn't change, we just add additional DLLs to an
existing version. If I just drop the relevant DLLs in the repository area and
update the relevant ivy.xml.
But then when I try to build a project which depends on these new DLLs it fails
because it doesn't realise I have changed the contents of an existing version
(that version will already be in the local ivy cache) so it doesn't download
the new files from the repository.
Is there any setting/command I can use to force Ivy to do a check of the
ivy.xml descriptors in the repository and, if anything has changed, refresh
that library. We can do a clean of the ivy cache but it's a bit painful for
developers who connect over the VPN, can take quite a while to re-downloaded
everything.
I'm using ant 1.7.1 and ivy 2.1.0RC2.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers.
Mike.
