Re: [rt-pmc] Virgo testcase dependencies
|
This topic was discussed on today's RT PMC call. The conclusion was that "works with" CQs are necessary for these dependencies.
If it is possible to combine some of these dependencies into broad categories, then these could be covered with "blanket" CQs as below, but each blanket CQ could only express dependencies under a single license.

Virgo has no direct dependency on these bundles, but has completely general support for third party bundles which address various issues such as load time weaving and thread context class loading which commonly arise with such bundles.

These bundles are downloaded by the Virgo build system when the testcases are built and run. These bundles are not checked in to source control and are not distributed with Virgo.
