Guess I am now an official member of the Ben H. misdirected e-mail
club ;-) Sorry. I intended my email as a heads-up to a friend who
could suffer some pain were he not aware of custom built packages
in the Geronimo build. Again, my apologies.
FWIW, if the project does need to customize a package (not a great
state of affairs, but it will occasionally happen), I'd suggest
adopting a consistent naming convention for the custom package
(whatever it is just be consistent). Ideally that naming convention
would also serve as a key to building a url into the
geronimo.apache.org URL space for finding the actual patch.
That's the proposal now and make a "soft" temporary fork :
1) Bring source that we need to patch to the Geronimo SVN
2) make it clear in NOTICE what we are doing
3) build into geronino-$project_name-$timestamp.jar
4) distribute via maven in the _geronimo_ part of the repo
