A few weeks ago, Intel Mac support was on the agenda for the
Chandler engineering meeting. Based on the knowledge of the
people in that meeting, we believed that Intel Mac support was
(many) months away. Since Chandler now runs on Intel Macs, we
were obviously mistaken.
We were all mistaken. No amount of email coordination would have
made it any faster or better. What unblocked this issue was the
unexpected arrival of a set of patches developed by Sandro Tolaini
making gcj 4.0.2 functional on Intel Mac OS X. Until then, the word
on the gcj mailing list [1] had been that Intel Darwin support
wasn't going to be released until gcj 4.2.0 which is nowhere close
to being released, ie many months away.
Me having my facts wrong about the Intel Mac stuff doesn't detract
from the point of the original message - it illustrates what happens
when you lack public information. I'm sure people are tired of me
saying this stuff. I'm tired of having to say it, too. But it
boils down to this: If we are going to call ourselves an open source
project, we have to act like it.
