Peter, I think some of your requirements are unreasonable. Number (2) I'm fine with - I consider that part of the job. When I'm done you'll have Phoenix running just as you have today, except with Excalibur CLI instead of Spice CLI. Number 1: By deprecated, do you mean code marked with @deprecated, or code that isn't marked so, but no longer considered part of Avalon proper? I'm fine with removing @deprecated tags from CLI, if that's what you want, but I'm not fine with pulling it out of the compatibility project again. Number 3: That's not something I can promise, and you know that. This requirement is completely and utterly unreasonable. Number 4: Given that the only difference for you after the change will be that the code will be hosted at Apache and that it will be in an Avalon package instead of Spice, I really don't see why you can't do any maintenance you need of the code after the move. I don't consider myself completely and solely responsible for a piece of code just by touching it. What, can I shove it over on the next person touching it? I'll make the change and leave you in a nice, stable state. If I fuck up the change, I will fix it. But I don't consider this - and I see no reason to do so - as a perpetual committment to fix things in Excalibur CLI. If you have a reason, I'd like to hear it. /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
