There are several questions in there. What follows is some speculation on my part, but here goes...HelloI 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?
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.
