A few weeks ago, Intel Mac support was on the agenda for the Chandler engineering meeting. Based on the knowledge of the people in that meeting, we believed that Intel Mac support was (many) months away. Since Chandler now runs on Intel Macs, we were obviously mistaken.

We were all mistaken. No amount of email coordination would have made it any faster or better. What unblocked this issue was the unexpected arrival of a set of patches developed by Sandro Tolaini making gcj 4.0.2 functional on Intel Mac OS X. Until then, the word on the gcj mailing list [1] had been that Intel Darwin support wasn't going to be released until gcj 4.2.0 which is nowhere close to being released, ie many months away.

Once that hurdle was cleared, getting Chandler up didn't that long - a day more or less - as hoped.
