Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Petursson, Sigurdur" <>]

We have been kicking the tires on Grouper for over a year now and this 
is the first time we are hearing about this. Re-build should of course 
not wipe out previously installed patches. Now, a separate function 
called factory reset would wipe out patches and configuration but a 
rebuild should simply rebuild with any code and patches in place.

This is particularly important with Grouper where the patching process 
is very cumbersome and somewhat flawed. I will surely look at the wiki 
and adopt the automation of patching.

I hope the Grouper team reconsiders the patching process and finds ways 
to improve, as well as the rebuild with respect to patching.

Thanks.
