Perhaps that's the issue for you.

Sigh.
I still maintain that you are missing what I am saying:
Can you quote an e-mail on this thread where I have objected to putting
an Ant jar in the top level directory of jakarta-commons? In fact, I
think I have gotten out of my way to indicate that what I am trying to
discuss is *not* related to that issue. [should you ever ask my opinion
on that subject, I will simply indicate that I will never use that jar,
and that I don't believe that the top level directory is the right place
for it anyway]
Back to the topic that I would like discuss:
I would like to upload daily a set of files which are useful. I am
willing to aggregate, subset, or otherwise produce files which maximizes
their usefulness.
Now, can we begin a discussion as to what would be maximally useful? Let
me start:
I believe that a snapshot of *just* the sources of cactus, combined with
the exact versions of the dependent jars needed to produce what you see
posted on the gump site would be useful to some. That way if Gump
reports an error, you can download and unpack a single file and
reproduce it. Does anybody else think this would be useful?
