This is correct. The normal place for an ant-build file is in the root of a distro. Because the distro's dir-structure isn't available in cvs, the file is maintained in cvs in mmbase/scripts. This is legacy and must be changed. But this requires a whole reshuffle of the cvs-structure and isn't something that can be done right away. > To add to the confusion, running the ant-scipt in the root directory > results in a failure in some (common) circumstances. > I propose one of these copies is removed to avoid this kind of confusion. The whole thing is explained in the docs included with the distro. Gerard
