Hi all,

FWIW, I'm +1 on doing the merge of unstable to trunk now.  Whatever 
short-term items we need to handle can be done on the 2.7 branch; any 
remaining platforms can be worked out later.  It'll be a fair while until 
we're ready for a 3.0 release anyway, I suspect.

Cheers,
Neil

3.0 unstable branch update (Merge now?)






Here I am again with my weekly check-in and query about the state of 
the 3.0 unstable branch.

I've got the rest of this week in town before I'm out through mid- 
July. Do to that schedule, I want to see if we can get the 3.0 
unstable branch merged to trunk during the next couple of days, in 
order that it doesn't diverge too much from trunk, and so that I can 
help with any issues that come up before I leave.

Thanks to all of you, the 3.0 unstable branch is now more stable, 
though I'm sure there's still work to do. In particular Dave, 
Alberto, Axel, and Greg have all contributed bug reports and platform- 
specific fixes. Here's an update to the platform support (your 
feedback and corrections welcome):

Configure/Build success:

     - Mac OS X 10.4    jberry (command line build, not XCode)
     - FreeBSD 4.11      jberry (minotaur.apache.org)
     - Mingw ver?           amassari
     - cygwin                   Axel
     - SuSE Linux 9.3    Axel (gcc version 3.3.5 20050117 
(prerelease) (SUSE Linux), GNU Make 3.80)
     - Solaris (ver?)        Greg Franks (Sunpro compiler)
     - Solaris                   dbertoni (GCC -- with notes?)
     - Windows VS.net  amassari

The following are unknown, by me anyway:

     - AIX                        (issues, according to dave)
     - Unix Services for Windows (is that what it's called?)
     - NetBSD
     - OpenBSD
     - True64

Since we're building on many more platforms now, I propose that we 
now merge to trunk. My intent was not that we do all development on 
my temporary 3.0-unstable branch, but that we use it to get the thing 
buildable for many of our developers.

Furthermore, I'd like to hold off making any major non-build-related 
changes on the unstable branch, so that it doesn't diverge too much 
from trunk.

So my proposal in short form:

     - Merge 3.0 unstable to trunk, with your consensus, over the 
next couple of days.
     - Concentrate effort to fix any remaining non-building platform 
that is critical to developer progress.
     - Perform remainder of work for Xerces 3.0 on the main trunk.

Feedback?

James.
