I seriously consider adding the changes made by the EasyAnt proposal. OTOH trunk contains a bunch of bug fixes that are not in 1.7.1, some of them serious. My personal query for open bugs outside of the SCM tasks currently contains about 170 bugzilla issues and I'd like to get that count down considerably before the next release. I guess I'm asking whether you feel it would be worth to make the extra effort of merging the bug fixes to te 1.7.x branch because we anticipate a 1.7.2. If so, I'd rather do it soon before the number of things to merge gets even bigger. I'm not asking for a release manager at all, just for opinions. Stefan [1] which I suspect is responsible for , but the AntXtras code was too convoluted for a quick analysis --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-help@ant.apache.org
