Daniel Dekany commented on IVY-641:
-----------------------------------

I have just looked for a such feature. What I would like to add is that thi=
s would be useful not only for the "work at home" case, but for using Ivy o=
ffline in general (think about laptops). I found that regardless of the TTL=
 I set Ivy will reach the repository for entries where changing=3D"true", o=
r rev=3D"latest.integration", etc., and if it can't do that, the Ant task w=
ill fail. So for a more open project (contribs come and go, etc.) currently=
 I have to use the simulate old-school way of dependency management, by ivy=
:retrieve-ing into a <projecthome>/lib (with an "updatelib" Ant task that i=
s never called automatically), and then don't use Ivy anywhere else, just t=
raditional Ant path-s (instead of the ivy:cachepath). It's not only not ele=
gant this way, but I practically lose the multiple-configurations feature o=
f Ivy! Now, if I could build an Ivy *repository* in the lib directory (as e=
asily as I can ivy:retrieve into it), then I could use ivy:cachepath too. F=
urthermore, just be replacing the ivysettings.xml one could switch to true =
online mode.

Note: I know both the above cases can be addressed by tar-ing the corporate=
 repo and giving it to the employers. While it certainly works in a well-co=
ntrolled corporate environment,  for the more open projects (think about ra=
ndom sf.net stuff, or even Jakarta stuff) it just wouldn't work in practice=
 that way.

> I installed repository at work (it's not visible from outside due to secu=
rity issues) so I need means to clone repository to local drive so people c=
an work remotely or at home. <repreport> can go through repository so I thi=
nk it won't be to difficult to add.
