Hi all,

Apologies for replying to my own email again...

Do you want me to build a working TDK or not?

The reason I am concerned about this is that I feel that Turbine 
releases should be quality releases.  Currently, you can't even build 
and run newapp without getting errors.  I realise that the TDK is 
disappearing, but that will only happen if and when someone writes a 
small sample application, which may not happen for a long time.  I did 
give a -1 on releasing the TDK, but Martin released it anyway.

If you don't want to give me commit access to the tdk repo (I know I 
haven't made any major contributions to Turbine so this is 
understandable), I could just untar the current TDK release, apply my 
fixes and tar it up again.  Does this sound like the way to go?

If I do this, will you replace the tdk-2.2.tar.gz file in the downloads 
directory with the new one?

Am I wasting my time trying to help you out?

Thanks,

-- Rodney
