I don't care too much about the code either - but more about a layout that supports both jars and docs and support files. Tomcat does this using standard ant tasks ( get, tar, zip, etc ) on the original distribution - and I think this should continue to work. What I think is important is to get the projects generate output and releases in this layout and into the repository. I recently switched to gentoo linux - and the "portage" system is just wonderfull. I plan to try to get gump generate emerge files and get it to work for jakarta projects - I think this should work too ( i.e. the portage system should be able to download the sources from a standard location and format ). > The proposal comprises Krysalis Version, which is an effort to define > versions in an implementation indipendent way.
