When it is ready! :) Seriously, the branch is cooking and it is looking good. I don't expect any delays, except lake of time, to hold it up for more than a couple of days. The only blocker seems to be the gconf-pref-peers as discussed on the classpath mailinglist now. And there are various fixes and workarounds proposed already. Basically 0.92-pre is done, we are just making super sure it is absolutely regression free. > I'm trying to plan for another backport before FC6test3.

Picking and choosing just "the right bits" is just much more work. And there is of course no perfect break between gui code and non-gui code. sometimes you just really need some of the non-gui fixes to get the gui to actually work. Also I think the other distros are more interested in having a full backport available. > I'm going on vacation next week, so if possible, I'd like for us to make a > decision on our plan by tomorrow, so that I can start merging/testing > immediately when I get back. What is really needed for merging in 0.92 into libgcj is someone that goes over the new configure options (like --enable-gconf-peer, --enable-plugin) and make sure the defaults are right for gcc probably --disabled instead of --enabled as in classpath. So if you could look at that using the 0.92-pre merge as a start that would be great. You can find a preliminary merge of 0.92-pre to libgcj in the following thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2006-07/msg00102.html Cheers, Mark -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
