It's not obvious from the repository where that would be. It's clear that they have rearranged their repository around their new API. I guess I'd have to subscribe to their list and ask around. I'm not sure what the benefit would be of pointing to a dead branch of their CVS tree though. From their archives, it's not looking likely that they're going to continue developing their new, incomplete API, but I see no indication at all that they plan to resume with the old API either. > (2) Make it an installed package. > > I'd go for (1) as it allows an easy route to switch > back to HEAD as > soon as it seems to be maintained again. > > > Or is this solution unjustifiable? > > It depends on how dead development of nsUML really > is, I guess.

I think I just passed my "I don't care THAT much" threshhold. I'm trying to picture myself tracking down the 0.4.20 branch so I can whip the graph developers into a quixotic crusade to save it. I don't even use graph myself. :) Its only consumer in GUMP is Maven. - Morgan > Stefan > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
