Just a few things I've noticed on today's Gump+Kaffe build when trying to find fixable Classpath errors: bootstrap-ant: Fails due to a dumb dependency on sun.tools.native2ascii logging-log4cxx-autogen: Errors in using autoconf to create configure authx-example: lacks dependencies jakarta-tomcat-jk-native: Fails to find libtool ldap-clients: lacks dependencies This is using data from: 'This Gump run is complete. It started at Mon, 31 Jan 2005 09:01:48 (PST) and ended at Mon, 31 Jan 2005 10:33:53 (PST).' which only lists the above five packages under 'Issues'. I guess the ant failure bootstrap-ant Dependees: 633 Affected: 632 Failed Build Failed Builds in this state: 1 stops the rest (the list of pre-reqs is huge). I did notice earlier (when it was still running) many more failures, including another dumb dependency on sun.util.TimeZone (in icu4j or something similar). I suppose it must filter these out following the run. It seems a change was made to the Ant build which caused this recently.
