While I agree that this is not a bug, and it should therefore be closed, I do agree with the guy who gave that bug. It is true that "buildmagic" is WAAAAAAY too complex for what it does and introduces an unnecessarily scary barrier to entry.
I don't use the 1000 configuration files that come with it, never will. The only thing that is useful there is the capacity to build all the modules in a dependent way, that is good. The rest is useless. marcf PS: The deeper scare for me is that we were commenting with Scott that no-one has really come into the code lately, meaning no new blood in the last 2 month. That is not good and it corresponds to the introduction of buildmagic. It will need to be simplified A LOT or it will need to be replaced by something simpler. A un-necessarily complex build environment is the surest way to kill the development on JBoss. As a first step I don't think there should be ANY configuration file besides the xml build. |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 6:55 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: [JBoss-dev] [ jboss-Bugs-450615 ] Build instructions???? | | |Bugs item #450615, was opened at 2001-08-13 14:11 |You can respond by visiting: |http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=376685&aid=450615&; |group_id=22866 | |Category: None |Group: None |>Status: Closed |>Resolution: Rejected |Priority: 5 |Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) |Assigned to: Andreas Schaefer (schaefera) |Summary: Build instructions???? | |Initial Comment: |There are no build instructions anywhere. | |Simply downloading the cvs projects listed, and running a build.sh |doesn't do the trick. | |Also, not all the projects are listed.
