Should the current master have all of these changes now? Following
your procedure and then executing a './waf rpm' leaves me with no RPMs
and the messages:
[386/386] copy: usage/conf/log4j-cloud_usage.xml.in ->
artifacts/default/usage/conf/log4j-cloud_usage.xml
Error: Could not find or load main class com.cloud.api.doc.ApiXmlDocWriter
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
Build failed: -> task failed (err #1):
{task: xmlapi -> commands.xml}
I do have
./artifacts/rpmbuild/BUILD/cloud-4.0/server/src/com/cloud/api/doc/ApiXmlDocWriter.java,
so I'm not sure if there's a path missing or if the order in which
things are being done is wrong.
