versions of sub-projects custumised for gcj

versions of sub-projects custumised for gcj

[Christophe Roux]

I ave been usig RHUG for more than 6 monthes.
I downloaded RHUG 6 monthes ago, and after that I never downloaded it again.
There is a simple reason : RHUG evolves.
The Rhug that can be downloaded now uses versions of softwares more recent 
than six monthes ago.
I delivered 2 versions of my software, WebMiel, during that period;
each time I did that, I said use it with GCJ and RHUG.
But is RHUG still compatible with my program as it uses more recent versions 
of sub programs?
I don't know; so I would like to say :
with WebMiel2.2 use Rhug 10/10/2002 or
with WebMiel2.3 use Rhug 11/11/2002.
In fact, I am asking, is it possible to forzen different versions of Rhug in 
order that users can choose the versions of what is in ?
Thanks
Christophe

Yes, I just upgraded xerces but it requires changes to GCC I just
checked in a few minutes ago...

Yes, I agree we should do that.  To date, rhug has been a fun experiment
and has been useful for driving a lot of quality into gcj/libgcj.  But
clearly the resulting packages are useful on their own as well.   I use
rhino/pgsql-jdbc a fair bit, for instance.

My suggestion is that we aim for a frozen rhug "release" that works with
GCC 3.3, which is supposed to be released in mid-February.  We should
get Tomcat4 working for this release.

Gary - how many more packages are required for Tomcat4?

None, I'm just working my way through the errors until it works :)

Actually, I have quite a lot of uncommitted stuff right now, which
makes me a little uneasy.  Would it be worth me importing my stuff as
jakarta-servletapi-4 and jakarta-tomcat-4 (or similar)?  It would
allow others to play around with what I've done without trashing the
current, working, jakarta-tomcat and jakarta-servletapi packages,

Cheers,
Gary

I say a little word, because I agree with Gary :
Between 3.2.3 and 4.0 Tomcat has changed of servlet version from 2.2 to 2.3,
so it is important to keep the two separate, in order not to have to modify 
older applications.
Thanks

Yes, this makes sense to me.

Thanks,
