Out of town

Out of town

[Tom Tromey]

Unfortunately I'm going out of town tomorrow and I'll be gone through
the end of the week.  This is rotten timing for the 3.1 release, but
it is unavoidable.  I probably won't have email connectivity.

I'd like to ask the other gcj hackers to respond to 3.1-related
problems for the next few days.

Some current status:

* The release-critical java/libgcj PRs all have high priority.

  * Gerald should be submitting a couple more Solaris problems to
    Gnats soon
  * There is a patch pending for PR 6068 and I have a partial patch
    for the last part of 5303 here (don't let that stop you from just
    doing it though :-).
  * AFAIK nobody is looking at 6066 yet.

* Darwin needs help; all the info I have is on the list

* There are actually 3 Solaris problems:
  * The configure change we need, so that we can warn if libgcj is
    already installed
  * The libffi configure bug
  * The -m64 exec. test failures

* Mark is doing a lot of Mauve work so expediting whatever he does
  will be helpful


I ought to put this info into the 3.1 status page but I probably won't
have time :-(.


Other folks, if you know of critical bugs or if your platform is
having problems (or if your platform should have libgcj enabled by
default but doesn't) then please send email to the list.  I'll try to
catch up on everything on Sunday.

Tom

I'm also close to getting the extensions directory stuff working.  I
really think this should go into 3.1 as it will make using installed
java packages much easier.  I realize this is a late addition, but I
really think it's important.
