Hi @mjpost thanks for response
```
Do you want me to be the one to merge master into JOSHUA-252? Then we can
test and merge back into master. I think this might be our 6.1 release?
```
Yes please if you could take care of merging your work on master into
JOSHUA-252 then that would be grand. I am not overly familiar with the work
done so I don't want to botch it. Thanks Matt.
```
Is it possible to have Maven do git checkouts (on specific versions?)
That's one route
```
I was thinking the exact same thing and I am actively investigating here.
```
Otherwise, we should just rely on the user to set them up. The only real
problem is for BerkeleyLM and KenLM, since those are runtime. I don't have much
experience in how to do this. But we could have a maven target that does a git
checkout of a specific version, kind of like a submodule.
```
Hopefully I can provide insight and input into this. Give me a wee bit of
time and I can get around to answering in due course.
```
Thrax and GIZA (and fast_align) we can tell the user to set up.
```
Agreed. I sent a PR for Thrax (which is incomplete due to changes in the
underlying API) which Mavenies the entire build
https://github.com/joshua-decoder/thrax/pull/12 we could then pull Thrax as a
dependency within Joshua.
For GIZA we will get the user to set up.
Thanks
