Someone has to do the work, thats all. It would be nice in my opinion, we would also have some new features available. Its just that its not something we should do haphazardly, not so much a 'decision' but just doing the work and being careful, a little more involved than just 'ant test'. Does everything work correctly on different platforms people use (windows, unix, mac)? Do Lucene and Solr packaging targets generate the same exact release artifacts (modulo timestamps) as ant 1.7.1? Does the clover integration, key signing, and other stuff that jenkins jobs use work correctly? etc, etc, etc. -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
