So my in-laws are in town and a lot of family events are coming in between me and writing software. In order to achive balance, for some events I'm taking advantage of having a reasonably powerful Laptop (even if it does run Win2k....it belongs to my employer who doesn't yet support Linux on Laptops) and doing some work on POI. (is there a point to this...yes I'm coming to that) I enjoyed listening to children's poetry while I went through the patches for adding named ranges to POI and watched out for Billy trying to run off (don't worry I wasn't the only one watching for this). Well in the process of doing this I made a rather eggregious error, I forgot to get a copy of Centipede. Fortunately, I had an old copy of POI and was able to copy the build.xml and tools directory, remove the scratchpad and examples and use the old build with the new POI. Well that went reasonably well but I got to thinking...this was a rather easy mistake to make and it sure doesn't appear to be documented anywhere that I can't do this. So I think we need to think through this again.
I realize what you're trying to do Ken and I think its very cool, but there are practical concerns at work here as well. I propose we: 1. add the dependancies from centepede last known good back into CVS 2. I will (if Ken is unwilling) make sure it is kept reasonably up to date 3. document the process of deleting and automatically downloading newer versions of centipede. 4. your thoughts here. -Andy
