Gump build failures

["BAZLEY, Sebastian" <Se...@london.sema.slb.com>]

There seem to be a lot of Gump build failures at present, particularly in
some of the commonly used modules, so a lot of builds (including JMeter) are
failing with "missing pre-requisite".

Although the JMeter Gump project file lists various external dependencies,
most of the jars that it needs for building are actually in its CVS, and
these jars are alse included in binary releases.

So can I change the JMeter Gump dependencies accordingly?
Or would this cause problems for Gump and/or be against the "spirit" of
Gump?

Are you looking here:

http://cvs.apache.org/builds/gump/latest/ (which is stale, from September
,and I need to figure out how to delete) or http://gump.covalent.com/log/
(which is up to date)? [I need to get in and clean up that stale copy.]

Gump needs to start nagging (e-mails) again in order to get it
descriptors/builds healthy. The Gump team are working towards this. One
delay has been that we were hoping to install a Gump on apache hardware in
order to start nagging from there, but that may occur too late.

The Gump-like thing would be to bring dependencies into the fold, by
building them inside Gump, not trying to . Is this possible, or do these
projects not have open CVS access or ant builds? The ones already within
Gump we'll work (harder) to clean up again.

FWIIW: This ought be raised on gump@jakarta.apache.org. Please let's
continue it there. if you don't mind.
