Hi There,
I've been doing requirements and design for a build system and continuous
integration setup for our in-house software and on the build side I have
made the rounds from Maven2+Ant to Ivy+Ant to commercial systems to a
home-brew system. Currently we use a lot of Ant and make, and some "other
stuff". In the process of all this I looked at Gump briefly and moved on.
Now that I am thinking more about how I would design a system to build
all of our projects (using Ant) it was starting to slightly resemble Gump
and its approach using modules and projects.
I am now looking at it again in more detail and I like what I see so far
(and I love Python so that rocks too). I was wondering what the current
status of the project is. I see stuff about Gump3 in development and I am
intrigued. If I wanted to start using it is Gump3 ready for primetime? I
find surprisingly little info on the project in terms of other people
using it outside of Apache. I was wondering if that meant it was
relatively dead, or it just works so well that nobody talks about it? ;o)
Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks!
Mark.

The Apache Incubator project Depot did not survive the
incubation process:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/#Retired+from+incubation
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/depot.html
There are probably guidelines at the Incubator website
if you want to build a community around it and revive it.
Discuss on the general <at> incubator list.

Hi Leo,
Thanks for the reply. I'll give Gump2 a closer look then.
By the way - I am also interested in the Apache Depot project that is
linked to from the Gump page. Unfortunately there is no code or even
developer email addresses on the page as it is in incubation. Any idea
when this will be available? Does Gump use it?
Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks for your interest. I would say Gump3 is currently "in
hybernation", unfortunately.
Not "dead", since I do still plan to return to work on it at some
point in the future, but right now it is just not functionally
complete nor ready for real use.
Gump2 is still running at apache and elsewhere though, and working
just fine, even if its not seeing that much active development either
right now. Unless you want to dive in and hack Gump3 into something
production-ready yourself, I'd suggest starting off from the gump2
configuration in use at apache and customizing it for your own use.
cheers,
- Leo
