I know you guys are super busy but what are the chances of getting you
to set up one of those cvsweb interfaces (so people can browse the
tree without checking it out)? I've been raving about the
autoconf/automake/libtool/jdeps set up you guys got to the Apache
JServ folks (java.apache.org). I'm doing the build environment and
want to do something similiar. A cvsweb interface would also be a
good idea to introduce all the Java folks who don't have Linux/GNU
backgrounds (a substantial number in my experience) to the GNU way of
doing things.
Who's primarily responsible for the build setup you guys got? Are you
using the standard versions of all these tools? I tried to build this
stuff on my Solaris box and configure bombed out:
checking for Guile... ./configure: guile-config: not found
configure: cannot find guile-config; is Guile installed?
I built and installed guile but don't have a guile-config file
anywhere. What's this supposed to be? In what capacity is guile
being used? The hackers guide doesn't say anything about it.
Okay that's probably enough questions to be overly annoying, thanks in
advance for the answers.
P.S.
As soon as we get 1.0b1 of JServ out the door I plan on investigating
using classpath/japhar instead of Sun's JDK. This along with a
Solaris port should hopefully make up for picking your brains and
copying your build environment now. This will have to wait until I
graduate in December though.
I've heard of a free JSDK floating around. When do guys suspect
you'll be ready for extensions like this? I'd be more than willing to
integrate it into the tree when you guys are ready (after a couple
solid releases I'm guessing).
Oh shit, I just remembered I did some porting of Sun's 1.0.2 JDK back
in the day (which involved selling my soul to one of those stupid
license agreements), will this prevent me from contributing?
Sorry for the length....
