Man this drives me nuts. That�s why I didn't want to use forrest. Lessons learned from Centipede: the more dependencies your build has the more often it breaks. $20 says they never really make it to 1.0.
You wonder why I constantly ask "do we need this dependency" when someone tries it? Because its a PAIN IN THE BUTT to manage dependencies. Every dependency adds a brittle link. I like POI to stay simple and layer the dependencies on top of it rather than under it. -Andy On 7/17/03 8:34 AM, "Tetsuya Kitahata" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Forwarded by Tetsuya Kitahata <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > ----------------------- Original Message ----------------------- > From: Jeff Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 22:29:36 +1000 > Subject: Re: new forrest live site > ---- > > On Wed, Jul 16, 2003 at 11:33:12PM +0900, Tetsuya Kitahata wrote: > .... >> By the way, how can we (jakarta-poi) set up the forrestbot? we are >> doing the update manually: it is waste of time, needless to say > > I will, but some changes will be needed first, to get POI building with > out-the-box Forrest.
