        It predates gump.sh by far.

Yes, but don't forget -- gump.sh was just taken from something Sam was using
anyway. We "inherited" many of the lines from that.

        I use .timestamp in the cron job that runs Gump and I think Leo and
        Sam do the same.  The .timestamp mechanism allows you to do partial
        Gump runs based on older builds.

Interesting. I get it, thanks for the insight.

        I hope I could clear that up.

You did, so this line ought stay for gump.sh which likes to do all.

        You can always override them from the Gump descriptor.

        <ant ...>
          <property name="DSTAMP" value="@@DATE@@"/>
        </ant>

Nice idea, that hadn't occurred to me.

        What is wrong with nesting <property> into Gump's <ant> tags?  Which
        feature are you missing?

I think some information gump has isn't snarfable like above. I use gump to
build some in-house projects, and then launch (via centipede) some "value
added" build scripts. Since I run a number of gumps on one box I need to
know which gump I am in and where, etc.

So, what do you think to what I am proposing given that? Good idea? Bad?

Adam
