Sam is working hard, but one problem is that if GUMP can't successfully
build a dependency, then it can hardly report when that dependency changes
in such manner that when it finally builds it will break dependents.

Getting the system to cleanly build is hard, and a number of us are working on it (I won't take full credit).

Keeping the system cleanly building takes cooperation. What it means is that people don't keep components failing for weeks on end. You've known about incompatibilities, but you have not chosen to address them. This is not a big deal as other projects aren't depending on you, but is a big deal in other cases.

Leo Simons hit the nail on the head when he said "Let's try and stop being the gump problem child, shall we?".

It is my opinion that the Avalon team is now sufficiently motivated to try to keep their components building under Gump.
