If all looks good, we should be able to convertthe Tinderboxes and QA lab next week.Well, seems we hit some roadblocks. Ubuntu Breezy Badger does not include gcj 3.4 which is required by PyLucene to work properly (they have gcj 4.0 which is too flaky for PyLucene - I tested).
Ubuntu (breezy) does not by default include 3.4 but that doesn't mean it's not available.
It seems impossible to have Ubuntu provide gcj-3.4 at this point, but please let me know if you think otherwise... We could create a new compilers package that you get by doing makecompilers (like on FC2), but that defeats one of the goals for 0.7 whichis to make it possible for distributions to take Chandler. Chandler runs, and unit tests pass, even with gcj-4.0. It's just that any usage of PyLucene is suspect to crashes etc.
PyLucene issues alone prevent distributions from accepting Chandler.My understanding was that we would continue to use gcc/gcj 3.4.x tools to build binaries that *run* on modern distros with the understanding that when other things fall into place we will be able to get distro distribution.
I am currently testing to make sure that Chandler does build/run and can be developed on with Ubuntu (and also making sure FC4 is clean) - there is a possible issue with recent changes but I need to finish testing.
