We ordered some new Tinderbox hardware, and already have koa and mana running. We have new faster disks for the PPC Macs, but these are still waiting for some additional hardware before they can be installed. Finally, we have hilo (Windows XP) waiting to start duty as full build Tinderbox, but we run into a problem: we can't find the installation media for Visual Studio .NET Professional.
Microsoft no longer sells Visual Studio 2003 version. It might be available from resellers. In any case, there is a newer version of Visual Studio available, and traditionally new versions have brought significant improvements both in compiler and other tools. Now there is also the potential added benefit that developers might be able to use the free MS Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and we'd do the official builds with a version that lets us distribute the msvc DLLs (I tried to figure out how to do it with the free version but gave up after a few days of trying - there are both license and technological hurdles with that). Here is information about my vcexpress2005 branch: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/Journal/VisualC2005ExpressEdition So I wanted to get your opinion on how we should proceed: 1) Forget hilo, we'll just use the slow haleakala 2) Find a place to get the older Visual Studio and install it on hilo 3) Switch to Visual Studio 2005 4) Something else, please describe -- Heikki Toivonen
