Helix,

Yep, that makes sense. I had forgotten about the new build.properties file. I'm not sure why it didn't inherit/filter/whatever from build.properties when I accidentally cleared the settings in my local dspace cfg. I'll pay more attention next time.

Also, last week or so I had asked on the list for tips about deploying multiple DSpace environments from one code base and you suggested I look into build.properties. Now that I'm finally getting around to moving to 3.0+ I see how they can come in handy and I will start making us of them.

Ok, I understand now. You copied the unfiltered values to your installed config:

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3_x/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L74

This is saying "assign X to X", where X is undefined. Therfore a circular definition.

Filtering is replacing values in those curly braces in dspace.cfg by values from build.properties. This happens when you run ant.

In dspace.cfg both would usually work. In build.properties never come to out anything.
