First of all, the project is lacking a web presence, it seems dead outside the CVS repo. Most of the links from the main page at sourceware [1] are not working: - "Download" [2] points to nightly snapshots [3] which is empty - "CVS" [4] points to the cvsweb [5] which then redirects to a repository listing [6] where mauve is missing - The mailing lists archives seem to indicate some activity (month/year links which seem to skip periods with no activity), but clicking on the respective month/year leads to a "No messages here"; the exception here is a single message in mauve-patches for 2017 that seems pretty much like spam Checking out CVS repository does show that the last commits are dated 8/April/2016. The README seems to be out of date, as some arguments for the configure script have been removed on a previous commit (--with-bootclasspath, --with-gcj). Trying to run the testsuite (java Harness) brings up lots of errors when using the autocompile. Trying to compile the gnu/testlet testsuite before hand will also throw out errors with both gcj as well as openjdk. For gcj-5 (full log at [7]): $ cd gnu/testlet $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/javac -nowarn -cp ../../:. . ... 148 problems (148 errors) For openjdk-8 (full log at [8]): $ cd gnu/testlet $ find -name '*.java' -type f | sort -u > java_files $ javac -cp /usr/share/java/libgcj-5.jar:../../:. -g -source 1.5 -target 1.5 -nowarn @java_files ... 32 errors Trying to run the tests after compiling also does not work that well, lots of errors like: FAIL: gnu.java.security.hash.TestOfHashFactory line 42: TestOfHashFactory [1] -- uncaught exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/java/security/hash/HashFactory even though /usr/share/java/libgcj-5.jar is in the classpath and contains the class. It would be nice if I could get some pointers on what I'm doing wrong and on whether the project is still being supported.
