A few random FC6 gcj comments... I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on the list at all, but since FC6 will be shipping with GCC 4.1.x, a decision has been made to backport all the great GNU Classpath/libgcj work from GCC HEAD into the FC6 4.1.x branch. Among other things, this means we'll also get gcjwebplugin. The whitelist dialog box in gcjwebplugin is pretty intimidating. I was wondering if we could add a button to it that would pop up a Fedora wiki page in a browser explaining the situation a little better to newbies. I'd be willing to write the page if somebody could add the button. FE now contains all of the dependencies for the MIDI synthesizer providers I wrote (dssi, jack-audio-connection-kit, etc). I'm not willing to bet we can pull these into Core. Should I extract those providers from GNU Classpath and make an FE package out of them? Having Eclipse 3.2 in FC6 is awesome. I am able to remove a number of SWT patches from azureus and rssowl now that we have SWT 3.2. However... I can't optimize Azureus because of this: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19505 RSSOwl won't run because of this: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27271 Are there any other pet bugs that need to be fixed before FC6? Karsten hasn't been asking me about FOP for a long time. I wonder if that means the Fedora docs guys have moved on to a different PDF solution. I suspect that FOP will run with the FC6 gcj. Any reason to believe otherwise? AG
