Hi all,
We've got the migration classpath 0.95 ahead. I'd like to take that
opportunity to switch to using the system installation of gnu classpath,
and remove the source code for it from Kaffe, slimming down our tarball
& configure times.
From what we discussed on the Mailing list this seems to be lethal for
builds on machines without a java 1.5 compiler on it, since jikes is gone.
I'd also like to take another look at the various static build options,
and thin out the redundant ones.
Last time I tried (but that was about in June/July before compiling
stopped working on many platforms of mine) static was broken on some
builds.
I'd love to see the skyos port merged in for the next release.
I'd love PPC jit :) (Hey, Guilhem, reading me? When you have time tell me)
There are few other things I'm thinking of, like looking at the gcj
bindings again, and checking if we could switch over to use boehm-gc as
the default gc on the platforms that support it, as well as switching
over to classpath's javah and removing kaffeh, and starting to use glib
for data structures, portability wrappers, and all the fun stuff that's
currently clogging our configure script.
NO, NO GLIB, PLEASE. Not another damn dependency and I'm allergic to glib
anyway. Really, no use.
The next release is tentatively scheduled for November 4th.
2008? :)
Riccardo
