Infra only uses the status='current' attribute of podlings.xml. That said, we use it once in a script that podlings need to use when they enter (mlreq), and once in a script the podlings use when they graduate (no UI name). So podlings have an incentive to keep the 'status' attribute up-to-date both at creation and at graduation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
