Yeah, Windows Tinderboxes were running fine with wx 39. Mac and Linux are the platforms that were having most of the issues. > make sure when he identifies and fixes the Mac issue that Windows and > Linux will pass FT?

Here's what I think we agreed on and why the wx39 branch was created in the first place: * John tracks down the revisions that caused the problems. There are no incremental checkins when he is tracking down the issues. The issues get fixed on the wx 39 *branch*. * John et al check in their alpha2 fixes on *trunk* so that we can *test* them ASAP * Once branch is working, it becomes the *new* trunk. The alpha2 fixes we need will either happen while it is still a branch or right after it has become the new trunk (but note that we have already done most of the testing so there shouldn't be new surprises). Note that my understanding of the plan is that there will be no incremental checkins anywhere. John uses the past svn revisions to find the bad checkins in his local tree. He does *not* redo the incremental checkins again on the trunk to find out when things break. I think what you are thinking/proposing is that John redoes the incremental wx changes on the trunk, checkin things in as he goes. However, I don't think this is a good idea for a few reasons: * First of all, if we did this we wouldn't need the wx39 branch at all * If we did this, it would make it more difficult to test the alpha2 fixes (we'd have to wait until all wx issues are fixed) * Redoing the old checkins is error prone -- Heikki Toivonen
