[Bugkilla-developers] build-management for bugkilla is a horror story

[Christian D. <de...@oi...>]

Hi folks,

during the last month, the bugkilla system has evolved into different
direction

we have
	1.)a standalone system available as download that consists of a special =
set
of directories
	 i.m.h.o. we need default directoriess like metadata, rcs,lib
 	2.) an eclipse plugin that consists of a different directory
structure(driven by the eclipse architecture)
		it incorporates only a part of bugkilla(as a jar)
	up to 27.3.2003 I thought the plugin incorporates bugkilla-distribution =
as
a whole system(my vision was like Lego(TM) bricks )

My Question is now?

Where are the buildmanagement tasks to generate the two different
distributions from a clean cvs-sandbox ?

What are our future strategies for the project like jboss one
buildmanagement that can build two different distributions or do we have =
two
projects with two seperate build-managements.

I think the way we are acting at the time is: Somebody(who?) picks up  so=
me
nice parts from the bugkilla project core(i think he uses the build outpu=
t)
and puts it together with a output created by the plugin project and that=
s
the downloadable distribution(for me it=B4s a development horror ) and ho=
w the
bugkilla distribution is created is an undescribed miracle(that happens f=
rom
time to time)

So bugkilla warriors try to flame me !!!!
