Re: Buildr and SNAPSHOT revisions: update policy?

[jdecarvalho <ju...@gmail.com>]

Hi Guys,

Is this still the case?  Do we not handle updating snapshot artifacts yet? 
It's been a year and this feature is preventing us from using Buildr in our
environment.

If anyone has an idea on how I can even hack this up temporarily, I would be
eternally grateful.

Thank you,
