So it doesn't look bad at all. Correction: all debian arches built fine. pre12 should hit Debian's testing archive on Sunday. With the various success reports from Jim Huang, the upcoming release looks quite nice. > My list of pending patches includes: > cygwin fixes from Gerrit Haase > Pending patches form Ito on Classpath list. Ito's patches will go in when I wake up, and then I'll have a go at Gerrit's fixes. I've fixed a few more build failures last night. It would be good to have a few tests on NetBSD and OpenBSD for good measure. Save from a few bizarrities on darwin5 and darwin6-jit, I think everything should build just fine. The tinderbox had 7/8 green bars last night, with Darwin7 (intrp) also passing all tests with flying colors. Things I still want to look at are: Making RMIC ant task work for lucene build & gump Important Debian bug reports Fixing the issues reported by David. Things that would need someone else to look at: Darwin5 & 6 have some weird issues. Darwin 6 with intrp builds fine on the tinderbox, but fails on most regression test due to not being able to find libnio. Alpha-Linux has some pretty clear JNI trouble. That could be fixable by looking at make CFLAGS=-Wall output. ;) > I think we should just release a 1.1.5 now, rather than try to make it > perfect on all platforms.

I think I should get the remaining patches on the list in, and roll a release by the weekend, unless something major happens. Make distcheck is fixed again, most of debian arches should build fine, tomcat4 works out of the box on x86, I was able to run gjdoc on all of kaffe and generate the javadocs, too. So it doesn't look bad at all. My list of pending patches includes: mips cmpxchg from ths (debian-mips) new man page from Wolfgang Baer alpha warning fixes from kloeri mips floating point fix from this list cygwin fixes from Gerrit Haase freebsd4 fix from djinn (need to try out getting the types right via configure) Pending patches form Ito on Classpath list. Is there anything I've missed? I think we should just release a 1.1.5 now, rather than try to make it perfect on all platforms. That didn't work so well over tha last year, so let's try something different: quick point releases. Early, often and all that. cheers, dalibor topic ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
[kaffe] Mailing list problem and server update
Hi, Sorry for the mailing list problem - it wasn't working for the last two days - it looks like the mailmain qrunner process died for some reason. I restarted it. Thanks to Dalibor for noticing and telling me. :-) As for me - I'm still here. I'm still planning to move everything to the new server soon -- there's a weird ssh problem I need to research/debug before I can really do that. I've been a bit short on time lately, due to real life, Japanese lessons, etc... As for the new server - does anybody want to volunteer to redo the website and be the webmaster? I can set up a Xen session for that. My only requirement is that the new website should run on Kaffe. :-) As for the next release - I'm delegating that to Dalibor. (I'm just too short on time lately) Cheers, - Jim ___ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
