[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Build System] - Re: JBoss Third Party Build

[<sco...@jb...>]

I have gone through the build and it looks good so far. I'm still running the unit tests.

The wiki page needs to be more strict about how the thirdparty contents are maintained. Generally, one should never update existing binaries. The only time this should be done is for snapshots on pre-release binaries.

The respository is also independent of any existing build, so the discussion about looking to the build/build-thirdparty.xml for the correct version is off target. Someone has version x.y.z of a binary and they simply need to know how to add this to the repository.

Its a independent choice to update the jboss-x.y/build/build-thirdparty.xml version to refer to the newer version. It may very well never happen, and there needs to be a jira issue that documents every change in thirdparty dependencies.

As for merging this, announce it on the dev list and give it 24 hours to sink in. If I find a major problem in running the testsuite I'll followup to the dev list announcement.
