| 
| Hi all,
| 
| There was some previous discussion on-list about updating evaluations
| to build against Sakai 2.6 rather than 2.5.
| 
| There is a functional requirement for this for sites running evals in
| 2.6 or later which is described in
| http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/EVALSYS-984. So far the only known
| solution is to build evals against 2.6 rather than 2.5 (pom updates).
| 
| So unless anyone knows of another solution to EVALSYS-984 or there's
| some type of pom profile fix, we have a situation where the same poms
| cannot be used for both 2.5 and 2.6, putting the burden on one or
| another group to adjust them locally (or maintain a local branch).
| 
| In my view the right thing to do here is to update them to build
| against 2.6 by default, and place the burden on changing poms on sites
| running older code, as 2.5 is no longer a supported Sakai release, and
| there are more sites running evals with 2.6 than 2.5 (c/f
| http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/EVALSYS/Adopters).
| 
| So far it seems only UMD and Georgia Tech would be negatively affected
| by this (to the extent of needing to maintain local pom patches or a
| local branch), all other sites would benefit.
| 
| Please give your opinion (and/or any alternate suggestions) so we can
| resolve the issue.
| 
| Regards
| Stephen
