Maarten Coene resolved IVY-1158.
--------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: trunk
         Assignee: Maarten Coene

I've implemented your first RFE in trunk.
After running the <ivy:info /> task, the descriptions are availabe as "ivy.=
configuration.[config name].desc".

Regarding your second RFE, I think this is too specific to add to Ivy. And =
you can easily do it with ant-contrib as you illustrated in your example bu=
ild.xml, something like this:

{noformat}
<ivy:info file=3D"ivy.xml" />
<ac:for list=3D"${ivy.configurations}" param=3D"conf">
    <sequential>
        <echo file=3D"lib/@{conf}/.readme.txt" message=3D"${ivy.configurati=
on.@{conf}.desc}"/>
    </sequential>
</ac:for>
{noformat}

But please reopen if you don't agree...

> You can (an IMHO should) write an explanation of the configuration in the=
 ivy file
> <ivy-module version=3D"2.0">
>     <configurations>
>         <conf name=3D"runtime" description=3D"Runtime Libraries"/>
>     </configurations>
> </ivy-module>
> The Ant task <ivy:info/> makes the names names available, but not the des=
criptions.=20
> So the first RFE is making them available (accoding to 'infotest.configur=
ations') as 'infotest.configuration.descriptions'.
> Another RFE is enhanding <ivy:retrieve/> to create a describing file in t=
he destination directory which contains this information.
> E.e. with Ivy pattern lib/[conf]/[artifact].[ext] you would create with <=
ivy:retrieve descriptionfile=3D"readme.txt"/> a file lib/runtime/readme.txt=
 with content "Runtime Libraries".
> (!! Recreate old files, but beware that multiple confs could result in th=
e same dir if the ivy pattern doesnt contain a [conf]. )
