 I don't know how helpful this is, but I wrote down the steps I used for 
 the last release:
 
 http://www.kaffe.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kaffe-project-services/release-process/HOW-TO-MAKE-A-RELEASE?rev=1.1content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
 

I tried to follow the instructions, and got hosed right on the first
command, as the 1.1.5 branch was branched already ;(

So now the release 1.1.5 branch is a weird mix of HEAD and non-HEAD
stuff, and I can't find out how to get HEAD fully merged in into that,
i.e. what the magic sequence of CVS gibbersh is to make that work ;)

Could you take care of that, while I take care of the rest (notes,
readme, RC and all that)?

 Thanks for doing this!  (I know how much work it is.  :-)

Sorry for being so slow on it, I wanted to get those build failures out
of the way, that I could fix.

cheers,

  As for the next release - I'm delegating that to Dalibor.  (I'm just too 
  short on time lately)
 
 OK. 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.

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. That didn't work so well over tha last year,
 so let's try something different: quick point releases. Early, often and
 all that.

In that spirit, I plan to have a release candidate tarball ready tonight
for testing, and barring some huge problems, a release tomorrow.

cheers,
