Cool. My point was actually not so much that it shouldn't be a blocker, more that rest config should be core. It's a bit weird to me that it's not, as there are a lot of people using it. But I don't think extensions not building should block a release - the release should just go out without those extensions. > Kind regards, > -- Chris Holmes OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
