Greetings! This is just to let everyone know about a few GCL related
developments. I thought I'd continue posting these to this list for a
little while, until the new gcl-devel list takes hold.
1) Web site up at http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gcl/
CVS tree imported from Dr. Schelter's last tree at
utexas. Several patches uploaded.
2) New list gcl-devel@gnu.org
3) I've backported a few items from gcl-2.4.0 to get a stable CVS
build. Will commit in a day or two after some testing. This
includes a patch Dr. Schelter sent me before he passed away,
which for some reason never made it into CVS, and which
cleared up segfaults on Debian systems.
How you can help it interested:
1) Please consider subscribing to the new list gcl-devel@gnu.org. You
can do this via the web at
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
2) It would be wonderful if any interested parties could register at
http://savannah.gnu.org and volunteer as a gcl developer. Your
patches/bug reports/testing results could be posted there for
central reference. Many items beside coding are needed, most
notably testing and porting. If anyone wants to use CVS write
access, we could discuss this too.
3) Dr. Schelter seems to have been reworking the gmp support in the
CVS tree shortly before he passed away. Does anyone know what he
was intending to do? Scrap gmp? Incorporate a smaller piece?
Address malloc issues? Any pointers/recollections most
appreciated.
Take care,
