*Tag:* manager *Parent:* link:../ivyfile/conflicts{outfilesuffix}[conflicts]

(*__since 2.0__*) the conflicts section is deprecated.  Use link:../ivyfile/conflict{outfilesuffix}[conflict] instead.

Specify a conflict manager for one or several dependencies.

The way to specify a conflict manager is by giving indication to which dependencies
the conflict manager applies (by giving organisation and module names or name regexp),
and then specifying the conflict manager, either by giving its name or by
specifying a fixed revision list, in which case a fixed conflict manager is used.


See link:../ivyfile/conflicts{outfilesuffix}[Conflict Manager] for details on conflict managers in general.
