[Building Sakai] A kernel branch in sakai?

[Earle Nietzel]

Hi Jim,

1) When you make changes to kernel you will build and deploy kernel. If
there are changes to the kernel api this is only deployed to shared lib and
nowhere else. So this is taken care of by step 1.

2) Any other projects that import kernel especially components and webapps
those projects will continue to use the versions they were shipped/packaged
with. So if you make a change in kernel impl and the change was to be used
by another project you should rebuild and deploy that other project in
order to pick up the change, unless that project does not import kernel
artifacts. Most projects typically will import kernel artifacts into the
projects component (impl) and or tool (webapp).

To boil it down a little when I typically make a change to kernel I will
build deploy kernel and then right after do the same on the project I was
working on even if I didn't make a change to the project in that iteration.

Keep in mind that any changes made to kernel do affect other projects and
you should rebuild all projects at some point.
