So it doesn't look bad at all.
Correction: all debian arches built fine. pre12 should hit Debian's testing archive on Sunday. With the various success reports from Jim Huang, the upcoming release looks quite nice. > My list of pending patches includes: > cygwin fixes from Gerrit Haase > Pending patches form Ito on Classpath list. Ito's patches will go in when I wake up, and then I'll have a go at Gerrit's fixes. I've fixed a few more build failures last night. It would be good to have a few tests on NetBSD and OpenBSD for good measure. Save from a few bizarrities on darwin5 and darwin6-jit, I think everything should build just fine. The tinderbox had 7/8 green bars last night, with Darwin7 (intrp) also passing all tests with flying colors. Things I still want to look at are: Making RMIC ant task work for lucene build & gump Important Debian bug reports Fixing the issues reported by David. Things that would need someone else to look at: Darwin5 & 6 have some weird issues. Darwin 6 with intrp builds fine on the tinderbox, but fails on most regression test due to not being able to find libnio. Alpha-Linux has some pretty clear JNI trouble. That could be fixable by looking at make CFLAGS=-Wall output. ;) > I think we should just release a 1.1.5 now, rather than try to make it > perfect on all platforms.

In that spirit, I plan to have a release candidate tarball ready tonight for testing, and barring some huge problems, a release tomorrow. cheers, dalibor topic _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [email protected] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
