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.
