It's not foolproof, but as good as it gets in OSS IMHO. --DD The only thing that catches us out is those people that do really, really off-axis things, or have funny installations (winME+cygwin) that dont get used. Gump only tests on unix and it doesnt do deep recursive builds unless the sub projects are very complex, so there are still always corner cases that only show up in your own projects. Which is why working off CVS-HEAD is beneficial: you get to report bugs at a time when they can be fixed overnight, rather than in a release three months down the line. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
