The problem that I have is that I use sortdep.xsl jsut as you do, but
since I do the cvs step 'ad-hoc' as needed, and not all before, the
dependency sorting is not enough right now... When I run AntGump, I get
errors because various cvs repos are not there yet.
I did have problems with xml-xalan2 in the past, but since it was just
that one I would move the <cvs/> tag inside the xml-xalan2 project.
Since it reared its ugly head on stylebook, I decided to try and change
the projects to work for both of us.
The major problem I have is that the dependency of xml-xalan2 upon the
<cvs/> tag in a parent project is a structure based dependecy
(implicit), not an explicit one. I think that this a bad, IMHO. My
'quick-fix' to the problem was to create the '-cvs' inner projects that
the others depended on explicitly. Are you saying that you want to stay
on the implicit dependency road? I am not so great about that, but I
will do that if necessary. The problem that I have with it is that
<cvs/> tags are treated differently that say <ant/> tags, or any other
tags for that matter.
I'll leave it to you, but I would say that anything implicit based upon
structure is bad :-(
