Steve,


Actually, Noel's last email raises a bigger question for me... what Avalon **release** are we proposing upgrading to? I would be *much* more relunctant if the proposal is just to upgrade to Avalon's HEAD. What we're running with now was HEAD at one point, and then things start changing and we're told we have an unsupported version.

If Avalon has a release we want to upgrade to, that sounds great. But just upgrading to their HEAD sounds like trouble in river city to me.

A combination of both.
1. build against specific version of jars with crear version
dependencies and release status
2. gump validation against the CVS HEAD


Serge's point is really valid though. THIS time we have to get release
jars, with all of what that entails (including tagging the CVS). As you've
noticed, you can't even backup to what we have without guessing about some
old beta version of cornerstone.

Yes, GUMP will build us against the Avalon CVS HEAD, but that's just an
Early Warning System to get us running over to avalon-dev@ to see WTF is
going on.

Is the Avalon PMC able to define a coordinated Release of all the A4 modules
such that we know that they all work together?

Well you have one PMC member who is very keen to see (a) a checklist fulfilment that precoditions any release, and (b) a product sheet detailing the products in Avalon and asociated status. However - one isn't sufficient - lets raise this on the avalon list and see if we can get that checklist into place. I've already started the process of digging into the thread, poll, threadcontext and conerstone thread packages which will al least facilitate a kick-off a product list.

I'm CC'ing to Avalon Dev and Avalon PMC so we can get more feedback on this suggestion.

Cheers, Steve.
