yep - that was me trying to get some release preparations started last month (but things got a little sidetracked...) a couple of observations: 1 none of the current artifacts are really particularly suitable for rebundlers 2 some downstream rebundlers incorrectly declare a dependency on the full commons-logging and of the rest, many cut their own from the source. my proposal was to address rebundlers by adding a separate minimal build into the ant file (no dependencies) and then documenting some guidelines. if this is done then IMO there's no reason not to ship cleaner. > NB: I'm hoping to knock JCL1.1 into releasable state over the coming > weekend and hold a vote on creating the first RC. Robert/Brian are you > out there?? out there but less active than i'd like to be on commons stuff. lots of apache stuff blew up at the foundation level recently :-/ but if you've got some time over the next week or two, i'll make some JCL time. one job that i'd really like to do before shipping 1.1 is to finish a comprehensive troubleshooting guide. IIRC you created a best practise document on the wiki. do you know what happened to it? BTW dennis should have an apache account by now - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
