# IvyRep Resolver
Tag | ivyrep
Handle latest | yes, at least if the repository server is apache based
Handle publish | no
This resolver usually uses an URL based repository usually similar in structure to the, now defunct, `http://ivyrep.jayasoft.org/` repo, to find Ivy files, and ibiblio to find artifacts. It can also be configured to use other similar repositories.
Note | Since ivyrep is not maintained anymore, the ivyroot attribute is mandatory, and the use of this resolver is not recommended (we recommend using url resolver as replacement in most cases).
## Attributes This resolver shares the common attributes of standard resolvers.
Attribute | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
ivyroot | the root of the Ivy repository. | Yes, but may be provided through ${ivy.ivyrep.default.ivy.root} (since 2.0)
ivypattern | a pattern describing the layout of the Ivy repository. | No, defaults to ${ivy.ivyrep.default.ivy.pattern}
artroot | the root of the artifacts repository. | No, defaults to ${ivy.ivyrep.default.artifact.root}
artpattern | a pattern describing the layout of the artifacts repository. | No, defaults to ${ivy.ivyrep.default.artifact pattern}
## Examples
    <ivyrep name="ivyrep" ivyroot="http://ivyrep.mycompany.com"/>
