Unless we decide to move to tomcat/forrest, I'd say so.

If there is anything I am not sure I like about the set-up is that we
mirrored the /usr/local/gump from Moof, and I'm not sure if that directory
is the best root one on all. I like things like /var/gump and
/opt/gump/packages and things like that, and (maybe) /home/gump. But, so
long as we can find choices (or a choice) that suits norms on these
platforms, I don't really care.

I think the ideas of shared packages, and shared forrest/maven/whatever are
good. Not sure they are installed in the best place, but they work. The idea
of multiple installs is nice. In a perfect world we might want one install,
multiple workspaces, but we aren't there yet.

Oh yes, and I'm still not sure about .bash_profile including one flavours'
local-env-py.sh. I didn't take Sam up on his posting (I forget when/werre)
that said, don't expect these settings in cronjob. As such, we are still
using gumpy (that works, but is ugly since it needs three more env variables
& doesn't read the workspace to get the values) not gumpy.py.

I think we need to ensure we have a 'test' flavour [or test workspace
perhaps] on every box, one that we expect folks to tinker with (when the
main build isn't running). A test workspace would work [other than the fact
it could mask 'updated'] because we'd only run it at odd times, and we'd not
crap on the same output tree (like I often do testing.)

In short, we have improvements we can make, but Brutus (the breakthrough was
using a shared 'gump') is a good un.

Great idea. Perhaps re-install from scratch (save packages) into a gump
account.
