Welcome to _____ | __|_ Apache_ ___ | | | | | | . | |_____|___|_|_|_| _| |_| Gump is Apache's continuous integration tool. It is written in python and fully supports Apache Ant, Apache Maven and other build tools. Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the latest development versions of those projects. This allows gump to detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few hours after those changes are checked into the version control system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available online. You can set up and run Gump on your own machine and run it on your own projects, however it is currently most famous for building most of Apache's java-based projects and their dependencies (which constitutes several million lines of code split up into hundreds of projects). For this purpose, the gump project maintains its own dedicated server. You are looking at the README for the in-development version of Gump, which we've after a lot of thinking decided to call "Gump3". == More Information == Please see our wiki, http://wiki.apache.org/gump/ for more information. In particular, http://wiki.apache.org/gump/Gump3Installation has installation notes (though you may be able to do without them, installation isn't all that hard). == Command-Line Interface == Gump has a command-based commandline interface. Run bash gump help for more information on the available commands. == License == Gump is available under the Apache License, version 2.0, which you can find in the LICENSE.txt file. The files under bin/pylid-0.3 are available under BSD License, which you can find in the bin/pylid-0.3/LICENSE.txt file.
