I assume that you can get a new VME to the IBM website that supports the changes you are making before/simultaneous to the commit you do? IOW, could you do the changes on your system, and do the commit when you are reasonably certain that the VME will be available so it doesn't hose the rest of us? Also, can you leave a link up for the old VME too? In parallel, I can make the changes to security and r/b/m and get the snapshot built and published. How does that sound? geir
RE: [classlib] creating a new snapshot, and planned breakage heads-up
Not that my vote counts for a huge amount, but as long as there's a new IBM Harmony VME or alternative available in a reasonable amount of time, do as you please. As I prefer to stick with hacking around in the classlib modules and leave the rocket science up the smart folk, I'm very dependent on a working VM to build and execute test cases against. That's my two cents worth. -Nathan -Original Message- From: Tim Ellison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 8:58 AM To: harmony-dev Subject: [classlib] creating a new snapshot, and planned breakage heads-up I'd like to propose that we create a new snapshot of the classlib code and make it available on the binary downloads page: http://cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/harmony/snapshots/ Now that the security2 code is integrated into the build it seems a good time to refresh the snapshot, and there have been quite a few fixes in other parts.

Yes, I think we're committed to ensuring that at any point that things are usable and stable. geir Nathan Beyer wrote: Not that my vote counts for a huge amount, but as long as there's a new IBM Harmony VME or alternative available in a reasonable amount of time, do as you please.
