So I'm still not convinced that what is happening in logical. I have two repositories A and B. A only contains virtual modules. B contains the real artifacts I am interested in. I tell ivy to install modules from A and include transitive dependencies (which are all in B). I observe the following. 1. Without ivy:retrieve, nothing from B gets installed. 2. With ivy:retrieve everything gets installed from both A and B (but A is the repo I specified in the install task) 3. If I specify B as the repo in the install task then the build fails and nothing is installed. For consistency I would expect either: a. For (2) only transitive modules in A to be installed or b. (3) to succeed and the source repo to be ignored when transitive is set to true. But, for the record, I don't want (a), I want (b). (2) is close enough, except that I would expect there to be an implicit retrieve. andy >Note that usually you use install only when you want to setup an enterprise >repository that will be accessed by the team(s), and create its content from >another repository (maybe a public one, or a legacy one) that you don't want >the team to access.
