Given the current codebase is really much a moving target and we also lack the manpower to maintain both stable and trunk currently, we plan to limit the next release to a small subset of trunk modules. Probably EtoileFoundation, LanguageKit and EtoileUI. We initially expected to be able to target the latest GNUstep releases, but in the end we hadn't enough time to make all the necessary changes in GNUstep Gui and Back (mainly for EtoileUI and the theming support). > This leaves the trunk or stable version of SVN. > But the GNUStep and Etoile (sometimes the llvm) are moving target. > Allmost > all the time they are out of sync.

Since we depend on many unstable things such as libobjc2, LLVM/Clang and GNUstep, it's going to be hard to improve the situation until we rather depend on release versions. But that's our current goal. I'd like to achieve that around this summer with the next GNUstep release. > It would be nice if Etoile would provide weekly snapshots of the > stable svn. > which snapshot the developers successfully built, and and with the > same > snapshot provide the gnustep source with which they used for the > actual build. > This source either can be provided in a download format or with > instruction in > the INSTALL file how to get exactly the right revision from SVN . As explained previously, stable development is currently frozen. We might do what you suggest with trunk though The best would be to have an automated build system doing daily ou hourly builds of GNUstep/Étoilé (+ daily builds of LLVM/Clang) and running all the test suites. If the results were published on a web page, it would be easy for people to check what is the last stable combination of the various projects. I have been planning to set up something like that for months, but the main problem is that I lack a machine to install that. Even if I had one, I wouldn't able to keep it running all the time, so the best would be to use some remote machine. If someone could provide us access to a remote system where we could run automated builds, that would be really helpful :-) > P.S.

As a side note, I just updated INSTALL to include detailed instructions about building LLVM/Clang/libobjc2/GNUstep in addition to Étoilé: http://etoileos.com/downloads/installtrunk/ I'm going to improve the formatting a bit. However it is the proof that building Étoilé is at this time is not exactly an easy thing :-/ Cheers, Quentin. _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
