I wanted to make sure we could build on all platforms before releasing. I believe there were a couple FreeBSD issues with rc1 [1]_ that I hope have gone away now that we've dropped libiberty and friends. We need some testing, essentially. Once we confirm that everything compiles on platforms that GNATS is used, I'll tag the release in CVS and roll the tarball. One thing that I've run in to is making sure that getdate.c doesn't get recompiled using bison > 1.35. Bison 1.875d, the default on Debian, does not produce viable output with our getdate.y file. This might be a good candidate for gnulib addition. I'll send a bug to bug-gnats. In any case, if you don't rebuild getdate.c or if you use bison 1.35, everything seems to compile just fine. ..

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1022 bytes --] O.K. folks, let's see if we can't give David a more specific answer. Tim, if you could test RC2 on your FreeBSD 4.9 platform (the one you previously had issues with [1]_), I would greatly appreciate it. .. [1] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnats/2004-11/msg00012.html Yngve, I believe you were running some Sun machines, right? Could you see if they have the same problems you quoted earlier? [2]_ .. [2] http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnats/2004-11/msg00010.html I'll go over the bug list [3]_ for any high-priority fixes that still might need to be included. I'll also concentrate on cleaning up the Debian packages for the new release and do some testing with them on Debian sarge on sparc64 and i386. ..
