Hi Scott, I don't see any reason not to include smaller fixes for bugs which we know today already. We also have some issues with the c binding resolved internally in the last weeks and will merge them to the ASF svn.
Which unit tests failed for you? Regarding external dependencies: We had the same issue with the c binding. It relies on apr, apr-iconv, apr-util and cunit. I personally don't like the idea of checking them in because it bloats trunk. The native libs have to be supplied in flavors for all OSes which we target, too. In my opinion an environment variable (e.g. "ETCH_EXTERNAL_DEPENDS") which is used in build scripts would be best. We did it similarly with the c binding and the main ant build uses "TOOLS_DIR" (which is perhaps a little bit too generic). Some other frameworks provide third party download packages on their websites... I don't think that there is a summary of dependents for the build listed on the website yet. Do you want to add your list there? Holger -----Original Message----- From: scott comer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Dienstag, 14.
