Our ANT binaries are under CVS. But since I am not the only one touching the buildfile, I cannot predict = when someone will try to use something and fail, and come and complain they = waisted their time trying to use this and that and not being able. > there is no need to redist a nightly build on a daily basis, nor any = need > for >1 person to get and build the source. >=20 > the reason for doing it locally is that there will always be changes = with > your version and the ant version.

But at work I = do not want to share for the project a local copy that may be spiced too much. If I go with my local patch and the patch gets rejected (for good = reasons) then I am stuck maintaing my own version. > >Whould it be possible for ANT to tell which parts are off, something = like > > > > ant -version > > Apache Ant version 1.5alpha compiled on March 10 2002 > > Missing modules: > > this > > this > > and that > > > >Then at least one would know what is not there.
