Hi,

I'd like to add an equivalent to the <ivy:deliver> task to the Ivy command =
line interface.

A bit of background, I'm working on piloting ivy for dependency management.=
  We'd like to avoid Ant just for dependency resolution and getting artifac=
ts.  We've gotten a basic project getting dependencies using Ant.  In it we=
 use the following code to get an ivy-resolved.xml file:

<ivy:resolve/>
<ivy:deliver deliverpattern=3D"ivy-resolved.xml"/>

I have been working on getting the same thing working with the Ivy cli.  Wh=
ile doing this I found that the command line interface does not have an equ=
ivalent of the deliver task above.  It has a -deliverto option which only w=
orks with the -revision option which requires a specific revision (we want =
it to resolve to latest) or the -publish option which publishes to the arti=
fact repository.  I'd like to add the ability for it to work by itself resu=
lting in an ivy.xml file with the given name or add a new deliver option (s=
uch as -deliver) which does that.  Example usage would be:

java -jar [ivy.jar] -settings [ivysettings.xml] -ivy [ivy.xml] -deliverto i=
vy-resolved.xml

Or

java -jar [ivy.jar] -settings [ivysettings.xml] -ivy [ivy.xml] -deliver ivy=
-resolved.xml

If I did this and submitted the patch file back, would it be accepted with =
no ticket in the Jira system?  If the patch would be accepted, is there a p=
reference for what the command line option is called and its usage?

Thanks,

Mike N.
