this is a first step towards merging in fastjar to replace kaffe's jar, and remove the dependency on zip for class library builds. A nice small project for a volunteer could be to rip out kaffe/kaffevm/inflate.[ch] and rewrite code using them to use zlib directly. I may still have to reshuffle the code around a bit, and to change the configure option's name to make integration with gcc's code simpler, but that's the plan. This should be the last 'feature' before 1.1.7. It became necessary because of Debian builds of subversion breaking on Kaffe 1.1.6's pure java JAR tool on those platforms where Kaffe is not running that well yet :/ Given that fastjar is maintained by gcc developers, there is a higher chance we'll get its bugs flushed out and fixed on various platforms together, then with a Kaffe-specific jar tool. Further remaining changes on my list for 1.1.7 are * moving ahead various configure options from gnu classpath into kaffe's configure.ac to make sure oour users also see them Other things (volunteers welcome) * improving win32/cygwin docs * looking at various swing related bug reports in debian/on list * fixing the test -ef bug in gen-classlist.sh * merging in libffi for libffi supported platforms I'd like to have a release candidate by the end of week, if I can make the fastjar merge happen till then. The latest locking fixes have improved the things a lot for me on amd64-linux/smp, and the test results I got this week on x86-freebsd5.4, x86-linux, amd64-linux and powerpc-linux with the various available configurations (intrp/jit/jit3)*(jthread/pthread) have been very good (no failures). cheers, dalibor topic _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
