I'm starting to hate gump!
GRRRRRR.
Stefano.
Care to provide a bit more details about what you don't care for?
I certainly would have eased the introduction of Gump to cocoon a bit more gently than the way that you dove in, but I'm confident that your way will work out too.
Summary of what I've seen so far:
1) Gump has already found a potential future backwards compatibility problem that was introduced into Avalon but never made it to release.
2) Gump is getting cocoon to think more seriously about what is core and what is extensions. For my tastes, the current core of cocoon still has too many dependencies - I tend to prefer a minimal core myself. But in any case, this is not for Gump to decide as to which dependencies are OK and which ones are not.
If you would like a suggestion: I would remove all nags from builds that you don't expect to be succeeding yet on a nightly basis, and then only add them in when a failure would be a surprise. Then simply check the builds every few days, and if you can bring another block or two online per week then that is fine.
