I'll try to do this but it's only marginally better than before. I don't
want the cargo build to try every day to use a new snapshot if there's one.
That would be good for a tool like Gump but I don't want Cargo to track the
VFS snapshots. I want to decide what version I use and I want to control
when I want to move to a new version. Otherwise it's simply going to be too
much maintenance work.
So what I really need is a version of VFS that is not going to go away (even
a timestamped version is fine but don't delete it. Maybe simply put it in
the Maven 1 Release Repository so that it doesn't get deleted. Call it
1.0-200607271124 for example.
BTW on a related note I think the versioning scheme for VFS is not correct.
I think it should have the target version number in the file name. Instead
of "SNAPSHOT", it should be "1.0-SNAPSHOT". Imagine that you start working
on a 2.0 branch for example.
The best is of course for you to release a 0.1 version. VFS had been going
on for what, a year? More? It's really a bad practice to not release a
framework for such a long period of time. I understand the version (like the
API is not stabilized, etc) but that's not right. What you can be sure of is
that if a framework is late in releasing versions then people are going to
use snapshot versions as if they were releases and they'll complain the same
if something changes, etc.
This leads me to the conclusion that the VFS project doesn't want any
serious users at this point in time. Otherwise you would have released a
version. You're only interested in people doing experiments. Thus as Cargo
has been released several times already I don't think it should use VFS.
Right now I've kept the usage of VFS for our unit tests (not production
code) and unfortunately this is going to prevent us from using it for our
production code till there's a first version (even a 0.1 version).

Thanks for your help Mario, real appreciated! Now I've come to the
conclusion that the only way to progress is to get a 0.1 VFS release out.
Just release whatever you have in SVN trunk and call it 0.1.
WDYT?
Thanks
