Hi, I would like to unify the repositories together to make it easier for us to manage. I was actually waiting for a cjan/jjan system to emerge but as yet no one has picked up that ball so I figure we may aswell do it now.
Currently we have tools/ directories scattered across every CVS repo and I would like to merge them all into one in jakarta-avalon/tools/. The reason for this is that a few "features" in our build system caused bugs to appear when the tools didn't exactly match up. There is also the issue of generated jars (ie logkit.jar, avalon-*, phoenix-* etc). Currently we have to manually copy across them all to get uptodate version etc. So what I would like to do is specify a directory jakarta-avalon/../cjan (or jakarta-avalon/../workspace) where the latest released (or maybe built???) jars will be copied to on install target. This can be overidden as appropriate (ie I currently generate to /opt/apps/cjan). This will mean less jars in CVS and hopefully less inconsistencies. The arguements against this are generally; * This means you can not download a single repository, cd into dir and build automatically. You have to download them all. I don't see this as an issue now (it may become an issue when phoenix enters beta state though). When/if it becomes an issue we can simply update relevent project to store binaries in CVS again * building against latest of everything (and thus not stable). This shouldn't be an issue as framework+logkit is mostly stable now and hopefully excalibur will be soon. (Besides we have gump to warn us of issues ;]). Thoughts?
