I couldn't figure out a point by point response, so here it is all at once:
Installed packages require a descriptor just like everything else. IMHO, individual descriptors in my mind are better than "single 'installed packages' descriptor" for pretty much the same reason that you don't like them burried in cocoon or velocity. Having gump.covalent.net be the source for things we can legally distribute (like jython) is fine by me. I would be opposed to distributing things that have licenses that preclude our distribution. In the general case, we need to think about distributions not merely jars. My preference would be to have distributions be zip files - which are retrieved using wget (using the --timestamping option) and then unzipped into the /workspace/@pkgdir directory. How does this sound? - Sam Ruby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
