[M3devel] RC2 Release Engineering Status and Trac-king

[Jay K]

> cm3ide crash

still happens -- if /cm3/examples doesn't exist.
Doesn't crash if empty /cm3/examples created.
To get it to crash, click on the "examples" link.
Now I can't debug it, gdb won't debug my AMD64 binary, wierd.

 > m3tohtml crash

I was able to see it crash, and then not crash with my config file changes.
Since it is run in the Tinderbox though, that should provide extra confirmation.

remove/simplify dynamic library version numbering?

 > Can be left alone.

I meant specifically for this release.
For next release I'd like to reconsider.

My opinion on some of these:

cm3ide crash (NIL pointer?) #1002

probably fixed but needs retesting

m3tohtml crash

probably fixed but needs retesting


broken m3overrides

probably fixed but need to wait for Tinderbox to confirm
I can migrate more of them to the one master, but that's not required.
And there are some variations that need to be preserved, so it has to be all
human reviewed.

remove/simplify dynamic library version numbering?

Can be left alone.
I advocate removing the versions entirely.
However the "complexity" here is very hidden anyway.

m3gdb doesn't build on Darwin

I think we punt on this for this release.
Just update the distribution building to skip it.
I think the fix is probably to import Apple's fork.
I don't like it either, but it's probably the "best" way (short of
the unlikely Apple/FSF merge).


mentor startup crash on Darwin

PPC_DARWIN? All Darwin?
ie: What I reported?
Yes sounds bad.
Maybe the same thing as formsedit.
