Will we claim that Harmony no longer supports the platform?
BTW, I do not like the term "support". It is too overloaded) General recipe: if somebody needs a platform which has Harmony broken, we fix it. We have priorities to fix. And we are now preparing the "critical platforms list", which should be *small enough* (<7), because it would be top-priority to fix them. In this case only a lot of volunteers gone can uncover the situation like you describe. If we want a *large enough* list with "all good platforms we want to work on", let's make the list just before each release. Until then, we can "support" (i.e. fix the code) based on as-needed and priority considerations. It would be much easier and would not require us to maintain lists of platforms here and there. > On 10/18/06, Mikhail Loenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > 2006/10/17, Geir Magnusson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > > > > Mikhail Loenko wrote: > > > > 2006/10/17, Geir Magnusson Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > >> > > > >> > > > >> Mikhail Fursov wrote: > > > > I think if we decide to support a platform then we define a set of > > tests > > > > that > > > > must pass on that platform after each commit and we do roll back if > > they > > > > fail.
