no comment New Page: Gump code was migrated to SVN[1], with Gump metadata continuing to remain in CVS[2] (to be less of a community barrier, until SVN usage has matured as the norm with ASF-wide). At this same time 'traditional' Gump (the Java/Shell/XSLT/Perl combination) was finally archived. Python Gump is re-structuring itself (within SVN) to attempt to become more intuitive to new users. The Gump PMC voted to allow 'Gumped artifacts' to be publically available in a repository. These artifacts are to be specifically marked as '-gump' so as to attempt remove/reduce any confusion with releases. Also, each directory listing in the repository is to be marked with a disclaimer explaining that the contents can not be trusted, and are not releases. [3] The Gump PMC voted to grant 'root access' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (a non-member) to Brutus. Since Brutus is managed by the Gump team (and is standalone/untrusted) infrastructure felt this did not constitute a security concern. After some discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding the need for PMC oversight of mailing lists, the Gump PMC voted to sponsor [EMAIL PROTECTED] The intent is to discuss "Python w.r.t ASF", and allow the various Python projects to collaborate. Gump now can generate XHTML output directly without the need of a Forrest webapp (although still a supported option). This reduction in dependency is intended to ease Gump installation (and hence adoption) by new users. Gump has received some technical improvements recently. Gump was migrated from Python 2.2 to Python 2.3 (and benefits from many new language features). Multithreading support for CVS|SVN downloads removed latency delays from Gump's total run time. MySQL integration (for historical results data) is currently underway. Gump's current focus is on opening itself up to more developers (via documentation) and new users. * [1] http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/gump/?root=Apache-SVN * [2] http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/gump * [3] http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/gump/trunk/ARTIFACT_DISCLAIMER.html?root=Apache-SVN --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
