Dear Boriss,

Thanks for your feedback. What I now did was deleting my whole local trunk and then checking it out again(revision 17190). Nevertheless, I still get the same error.

If you do not get this error, is there any chance that this is a platform-specific problem? I am no Mac OS 10.4.10.

Thank you!

Dear Raphael,

Thanks again for fixing this pickle matter and sorry for the delay. I
just updated my SVN trunk, and tried compiling the trunk and testing
whether loading old pickles works.

However, it appears I am unable to compile. I don't know whether I am
just stupid ( I did this before..), or whether there is actually some
problem. I tried various things, but always get the same error message.

Here is what I am doing. I create some build directory, move into that
build directly and then evoke the mozart configure script from within
the build directory, e.g.,

$ cd /path/to/build/dir
$ /path/to/mozart/trunk/mozart/configure --disable-contrib -- disable-doc
$ make

Then I get the following error.

Makefile:17: /path/to/mozart/trunk/share/Makefile.boot: No such file or
directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/path/to/mozart/trunk/share/Makefile.boot'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [bootstrap] Error 1
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 1

Torsten, strange error, but I think I've seen it before. Could it be that svn doesn't make a correct checkout of the project? I remember that once I had a similar problem and I decided to remove the whole source dir and run checkout again. The problem was gone. I remember to have seen some differences between
the Makefiles.

Raph, as soon as I run some tests with the last revision I'll let you know.

cheers
Boriss



For some reason, the makefile tries to access a
directory /path/to/mozart/trunk/share. I assume that should
be /path/to/mozart/trunk/mozart/share.

What am I missing? Thank you!

Dear Torsten,

I checked in a change in the svn trunk of Mozart.  Can you give it a
try? I personally tested it with the Oz Minesweeper applet, which was
still in the former pickle format, and it worked :-)

If testing succeeds, I will include it in the maintenance branch, and
maybe push for a Mozart 1.4.1 release.

Cheers,
raph

I had a look at the changes between releases. The only change in the pickle format is its extension to pickle failed values.
         The other changes simply reflect the reorganization of the
        internal class hierarchy of values, they do not affect the
        format itself.

        I will give it a try soon (probably during the weekend).  If
it works, I will commit it to the svn trunk, and ask people to
        test it.  If testing is successful, I will call for a minor
        release of Mozart (1.4.1).


Thank you very much indeed! You are actually suggesting more than
    I even hoped for :)

    Best

        Yes, this is exactly what I am suggesting.  I don't pretend
        that it is possible for all former pickler versions.  But I
        think that backward compatibility with version 3#3 of the
        pickler (Mozart 1.3.x) is feasible.

        This requires a careful review of the diff between both
versions of the pickler. This is not an easy task, since that part of Mozart is quite low-level and a bit obscure (to me at
        least).  And one must make sure that the compatibility test
        only applies to pickles.

        Cheers,
