Page History

I created a Trello List for better Overview. All Points I have moved I have deleted there. The Ones left I have to cluster a bit.

(this page needs to be migrated to Jira)

Bugs

•  The PackedPixel Mystery Peter Kovacs
  
•  

This List is a incomplete collection of tasks bugs and Management Points that needs to be developed. The Goal is to achieve a better transparency what to work on. There is no Priorization on this list or time scope.

Build Enviroment

•  Build with SCon
  •  Create a master program to replace the current build.pl script (still using dmake and make) - Peter Kovacs
    
  •  transformation function for dmake
  •  transformation function for make
  •  pootle/language integration
  •  integrate the handle of idl files
  •  adding code signing infrastructure
  •  dependency tracer
•  generic improvments
  •  

    Something else to consider is that it would be nice to use a different value of
    $COM for Apple's clang, maybe "ACLANG" or "APPLECLANG" since it  has a
    different version numbering scheme that the open-source version of clang
    and having a unique identifier would simplify version checking when
    applying compiler bug workarounds.

•   test modification on Mac and OS/2

...

If you have an existing, populated build tree, then the most important
tests can be done without even doing a build.  Start off by copying the
*env.set.sh script and solver/420/*/inc/comp_ver.mk to a safe location.
Next apply the patch below, run autoconf, and then run configure.
Compare the values of $COMNAME, $COMID, $CCNUMVER, and $CCVER from the
new *.env.set.sh with the values of those variables from the saved copy
of comp_ver.mk.  Also compare the values of $COM in the new and saved
versions of *.env.set.sh.

•  

  Note: I think the old value of $CCNUMVER on the Mac is wrong.  It should
  look something like 000800010000 or 000700030000, depending on the
  installed version.

...

Recruiting
