Re: Some observations on jetspeed-2 (cont)

Just to confirm, exact same problems with Tomcat 4.28.
Tried running under Solaris, fails at the allBuild stage.
Probably linked to the Apache site problems, but it's strange the 
Windows build doesn't fail then :

Re: Some observations on jetspeed-2 (cont)

Posted by "Scott T. Weaver" <sc...@binary-designs.net>.
I fixed that this morning.  Try updating from the CVS now and see if 
that resolves the issue for you.

Re: Some observations on jetspeed-2 (cont)

Posted by Michael Bowman <mb...@redhat.com>.
Yup. I'm getting the same errors now (was working last week).
Looks like there is a new (at least I haven't noticed it before) jar 
file Maven is trying to download... jetspeed-web-content-2.0-a1-dev.jar. 
Could this be the problem?

Thanks,
-Michael

We never said it was perfect.  QA/cross-testing is appreciated, it is 
the tone of your emails that are causing us to have issue with your 
participation.  We welcome anyones' suggestions/criticisms.  However, 
when you make comments like "half-ass" and "makes a mess of..." you 
generate feelings animosity on the list.  You must understand that this 
is an open source project and we are not getting paid to do any of 
this.  IMOHO, the Jetspeed lists are some of the most friendly ones you 
will find.  We are never rude, are always professional and never RTFM 
anybody.  However, we WILL return fire when we feel someone has stepped 
over the line and become unprofesional or down right rude.

I understand that you get frustrated, but please try and keep your 
emails friendly/informative and less combative/accusatory, I think you 
will find you will get a much warmer reception from the developers.

Because at this moment HEAD is the only viable tag.

Cheers, guys, thanks the feedback.
Not quite sure why cross-testing and several platforms, JMV's, Tomcat 
versions etc and reporting back get's labelled as whining.
Clearly you have awesome QA resources at your disposal, and don't need 
and user input in this regard (hence the perfect state of everything at 
the moment)

David, could you point me to the exact location of the document where it 
mentions which tag I'm supposed to be working on, if not the head?
Ahh,  I thought not.

This is the CVS head that you are working with.
Its ongoing development. This particular PSML page was checked in less 
than 24 hours ago.

Why are you whining about works in progress as if they were bugs?
