But ... that test is not a very good one anyway ... all it's doing is running the runloop to give another thread a chance to connect back to the main thread, and seeing if an exception gets raised. There's no check to make sure that the other thread actually succeeded in connecting to the main thread, and there's no mechanism to stop the test earlier if the thread connects quickly, so increasing the timeout means the test takes longer to run. This test is really a good candidate for a rewrite when someone has time. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Does that mean that the GNUstep project will not mentor any students? He is right, we already are rather late in the GSoC time line[1] and we didn't even contact the GNU people [2] and told them that we want to participate. I think Adam sorted that our last year. Maybe it still isn't to late to apply with GNU? Anybody willing to contact them? Greg, Adam, Lars? I may not be the best person for that this year, having stolen half the GNU dinner reservation at FOSDEM :-) Next we will have to come up with a list of proposed projects. For this we may just reuse the list from last year [3]. And perhaps add the implementation of UIKit. As for mentors, we may again reuse last year's list [4]. David already stated that he is willing to do it again and I hope to find time to do so as well. We should try to have plenty of mentors and assign the one that is best suited for the task. Not sure whether lasts years Google SoC accounts will still work or if the mentors all need to sign up again.

Test results from base
My current test results are these: 5547 Passed tests 11 Dashed hopes 8 Skipped sets 5 Failed builds 1 Failed test The annoying bits are of course the failed builds. These are the new tests David just added. The problem here is that I don't have a compiler for ObjC++ installed. For me it is easy to tell that the failed builds are all caused by this. For others this would be a lot easier if these tests where grouped together. And it would be even better if these tests would be skipped if that compiler isn't available. The skipped tests are because I don't have ICU installed and the failed tests is the new test in NSNumberFormatter, which seems to be an actual bug in the code: Failed test: basic.m:31 ... Handle leading zeroes in fractional part: 1.1 Expected '1.1' and got '1.01' ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
