Hello

I am attempting to set up a Gump on a W2K machine so I can build my work,
against the software it uses (lots of Apache stuff). I seem to be making
some progress -- I extracted Gump from CVS, I followed the usage.html
guidelines, I've ensured I have "javac"/"cvs" et al on the path. Things
appears to be going "generally ok".

Then, as I start (re-adding) lots of projects to my profile -- in an attempt
to resolve dependencies -- I started
getting more than I could cope with, at least -- so far. I've tried adding
more and more as needed, including
xml-xerces, but I still seem to get this gen output (see below).

When I do an "update all" I do see 'xml-xerces' being updated, so something
found it. Can somebody give me pointers on what might be wrong, and also --
is my approach wrong? Is there a way for "my personal gump" to rely upon a
remote repository of built components? Ought I attempt to build locally, or
copy?
There are several questions in there. What follows is some speculation on my part, but here goes...

The nulls are disturbing. My guess is that it is because you removed the "<!-- Installed packages -->" section of the gump profile. If so, gump should produce more meaningful error messages.

Re: xml-xerces: update uses the modules name, build dependencies use the package name. In many cases these are the same, but they need not be. In this case, xml-xerces contains xml-xerces1, and xml-xerces2 contains xml-xerces. Yes, this is confusing.

As far as your "personal gump" goes, the idea is that you should *either* build or install every dependency. If you install it, it needs to have a line with package= in your profile, otherwise, you include a project definition which helps you build it.

I hope this helps.
