Hi,
Subject says it all. The CVS tree is under a code freeze for one week
in preparation of the 0.3.1 release, which will be UNIX only.
Any structural changes or changes to functions' standard behaviour should
be avoided during that period; any modifications should be among the
following categories:
a) Fixes to the build process
b) Any documentation updates
c) Fixes with a very low risk of breaking anything
Anything that does not appear to fit into any of these categories should
_not_ be committed to the development tree. That's a "should", of course,
there are always exceptions, but I thought those might serve as nice rules
of thumb.
If you have any other changes you want to commit, please hold them back
until the 0.3.1 release branch has been split off (this will happen before
the release, probably as early as sunday or monday).
In the mean time, please try to test the code base on as many platforms as
possible. And reasonable.
I'll definitely test the following:
- Alpha/Debian(Woody)/GNU/Linux/gcc
- Sparc/Solaris/gcc
If I find the time and nobody else wants to do that, I'll also try to test
- ia32/Debian(Potato)/GNU/Linux/gcc
- Alpha/Linux/DEC ccc
Those are the systems I have permanent or semi-permanent access to. I
might also try some of the things offered by the Compaq Test Drive thing
(Tru64, OpenVMS, FreeBSD 4.1, various Linux distributions) x (Alpha, ia32,
ia64).
For those who missed the original mail: _Unless something goes wrong_,
FreeSCI 0.3.1 will be released on February 1st. This year.
llap,
Christoph
