I don't think this is true. Why would it solely be for apache usage? Some one could install Gump locally and want to build a mass of projects that aren't stored locally. > I'm fairly sure this is correct... I am certain that the only way for Gump to scale is to offload the responsibility of descriptor correctness to the project itself. When there are 100,200,300 ... 500+ projects the current process of one or two individuals trying to keep the descriptors up-to-date is a lost cause IMO and not really that fun. Currently in Maven (http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/) the entire build is keyed off the project descriptor and this descriptor can be transformed into a Gump descriptor. As I just mentioned to Peter a couple minutes ago is that if the project builds from the descriptor then the generator Gump descriptor will be correct in form. No more disparity between the Gump descriptor and the projects actual build system because the information will be drawn from the same location. In this way Gump could be fed descriptors by some known process and use those to build instead of trying to keep them up-to-date manually. > J. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Peter Donald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Sunday, 24 February 2002 7:43 am > > To: alexandria > > Subject: [gump] Project files in project CVSes? > > > > > > Hi, > > > > I haven't actually looked into doing this just yet and I was > > hoping someone > > could give me a rundown on feasability before I looked into this. > > > > Basically what I want to do is have the possibility of a project > > file stored > > in CVS of each module.
