Hi Martin, I'm not sure I fully understand what you are trying to say.

It has been reimplemented in Python - partly in the hope to attract more developers. The code base driving Gump hasn't seen significant changes in years, the biggest modifications have been made to support the maven proxy by dynamically creating a Maven settings file (the proxy itself is written in Java and never been touched by more than one person, BTW) and support for additional SCMs. Maybe the code base is complete and does what it supposed to do well enough? My question is more whether there is any sense in continuing patching the meta data that configure Gump, something that only requires understanding Gump's concepts and no coding at all. This and maintaining the infrastructure required to run Gump. I don't believe we'd find enough volunteer power to re-write Gump even to the point of functionality it provides now - no matter which platform we'd chose for it. [off-topic sidenote, if I were to implement a system like Gump again I'd build in support for distributed executions from the start and likely choose a platform that makes coordination of distributed processes easier.] Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@gump.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@gump.apache.org
