[Building Sakai] LessonBuilder - which source for Sakai 2.8.1?

[Walters, Cynthia (cmw6s)]

At UVa, we build from source, so we look for the latest stable source for a given Sakai tag release.  We will make sure to follow the README (an excellent one, btw).  Thanks for all the good work and information on the tool, Charles.

This is where indie releases would do well for this project, and the deployers. No pom changes, no profiles, just a tomcat overlay that is known to work in a number of versions of Sakai - add it to core-deploy, run a sakai:deploy and you are done.

See: https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/PROFILE/Profile2+-+Version+Compatibility

cheers,
Steve

Rutgers has used LB from the beginning, so the normal 1.4.x source will definitely work in 2.8.1. It's just that the pom file is set up for 2.9, because the source is part of the 2.9 tree.

The copy we run at Rutgers is identical to the branch, except for the pom file. As indicated in the README, you need to
