 Ed, the current situation with builds is actually quite scary. I've 
looked trough several projects released for Ganymede and it is shocking 
to see what they have in their maps files. I see modules built from HEAD 
(i.e. no tag), modules that are not using anonymous connection (i.e. 
:ext:username@) and even modules that are build from non Eclipse CVS. 
Even Platform have those issues and at minimum it means that those 
builds are not reproducible.

 regards,
 Eugene
