[mapguide-internals] build script confusion RFC62???

[Tom Fukushima]

Hi All,

I agree with UV here that something needs to be done.  When I first tried figuring out the server and web tier a few years ago, it was pretty much impossible in a short time frame without getting help from Trevor, Bruce and others (who luckily were just down the hall).  I can see UV hitting some of these same problems; but being in a different time zone and having to do things over email, it must be a huge pain for him to make progress.

Please help with RFC62 as you can, and anything else that may smooth out the development process; it will benefit MapGuide development.

Thanks
Tom

thanks, thats the way the decision can be made.

But first people have to agree what needs to be done. In the current 
situation there are little inconsistencies which make our life hard.
I am sure the core team has their systems set up long enough that they 
dont know about these things anymore.
I do because I struggled hard to get the build running in the first place.
Trying to get the build server to do this now is pointing out the exact 
details of where the problems are.
