Ah, I thought it was symlinked to 2.1 and not working. Ok, then maybe we just need to question the wisdom of silently linking people to a very pre-alpha stuck in time version of 2.1-dev. > >and did a cvs checkout of HEAD thinking he was getting 2.1m3-dev. > > > >Can we do something more drastic to the xml-cocoon2 repository that would > >prevent people from making this innocent mistake?

I don't care exactly what, and didn't mean to destroy the past repository beyond recovery. The problem is that people buy a book or read a tutorial online somewhere that instructs them to use xml-cocoon2 and they do, and silently get neither 2.0.x or 2.1.x, but 2.1 as it existed on the day historical was created which had a broken build among other problems.
