The issue I see there is that (from what I can see) all the dependent plugins, or at least a lot of them, were maintained by Gregory and are now effectively unmaintained... Admittedly, that's a problem to deal with as and when we get to the migration and I realise that the answer will probably be "don't make any breaking changes" :0) Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
