Downloading snapshots from maven repository using IVY fails

Hello everyone,we tried to integrate activiti into our project using apache ivy as dependency management tool. The repository URL is valid, the download starts, but then it fails due to some wrong checksum: [FAILED ] org.activiti#activiti-engine;5.0.alpha4!activiti-engine.jar: invalid sha1:

I like ivy a lot too. I can't promise anything, but I will look into this.

Anyone else know what's causing this?

It appears that the version we currently are using (2.2.0) creates invalid checksums:

http://maven.apache.org/release-notes-all.html
MNG-4235 - [regression] Maven 2.2.0 produces invalid checksums during deployment to secured HTTP repo

The issue seems to be fixed in version 2.2.1. The only solution we have is to upgrade the maven version and re-upload all old artifacts.

Hey guys,
I'm not an Ivy expert, but a temporary solution which might work (prior to redeployment of artifacts with Maven 2.2.1)
could be disabling checksum validation globally in Ivy (as per http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.0.0-alpha2/concept.html) by setting

ivy.checksums=""
Just a possible workaround, did not test it myself.

Hi,

the ivy.checksums="" pointed to the right direction. I changed our ivy resolver:
<ibiblio name="activitirepo" m2compatible="true" checksums=""
root="http://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/repositories/activiti/"
pattern="[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />

Now, everything works properly.

Thanks for your help.

Hello again,

is it also possible to publish the source zip (and maybe the javadoc) to the public repository, so we can download it directly using ivy? Would be great.

added publication of sources and javadocs to the wishlist ideas in the roadmap: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/ACT/Roadmap
