Yes, Peter, those changes make sense to me. (And they make sense even in the absence of switching to `ant`.) My first concern, though, is that other processes elsewhere in TEI land rely on some of the by-products of building to be in the P5/ dir. (I'm thinking of p5subset.xml and p5.xml, in particular. Don't know what else might rely on those.)
I wanted to support Martin in his endeavor to move to ANT for our build process(es) and started working on a build.xml file in the P5 directory (within my new peterstadler-antify branch). Second reason, I want to become more familiar with the build process itself…
It looks like a straightforward thing to do, the only things I'd like to change are: * create a directory "build" where all the built files go (rather than polluting the P5 directory * create a directory "release" where the zipped archives go Both directories then can easily be discarded when cleaning the working copy before commiting ;)
Does that make sense? Is anyone already working on this by chance?
