Certainly a daedalus repository could be of use to many projects. One feature I would LOVE to see is a repository that contained the HEAD versions of every JAR in addition to snapshots, releases, etc. If I could flip a switch in my Maven, Ant, Centipede, etc. script and compile my project against the absolute latest and greatest, that would be an extremely useful sanity check. Whether those HEAD jars are built by Maven, GUMP, Centipede or "Tool X" makes no difference to me. However since GUMP is one of the only tools (perhaps the only tool?) that currently does the job, I find the statement that GUMP "sucks" disingenuous. Is GUMP easy to deploy for your own environment? Not really. Is it useful for building individualy projects a la Maven? No. Does it provide an effective continuous integration environment for Apache? Yes indeed. Does it suck? Hardly. If parts of GUMP are awkward, it's only because continuous integration is a thankless job. Thanks, GUMP. :) - Morgan ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
