Re: [Cppunit-devel] Release 1.8.0 ?

[Steve M. R. <ste...@vi...>]

Hi all,

I discovered that cppunit 1.6.1 won't install properly on a system
that lacks "doxygen".  So I started a 1.6 branch in CVS and committed
the fix.  I'll make a 1.6.2 release on the weekend if I get time.  Is
there anything else that ought to be addressed?

To get the 1.6 branch, I'd suggest finding a clean spot and doing
a new checkout.  You need to give the "-r BRANCH_1_6" option to
cvs:

    cvs -d xx...@cv...:/cvsroot/cppunit \
	checkout -r BRANCH_1_6 -d cppunit-1.6branch cppunit

Remember that commits in that directory will go on the BRANCH_1_6
branch, *not* on the main trunk.

Eh, well I can build it and "make check" reports no failures (104
tests), so things look good on the unix side.  That's only one
platform (Linux), mind you.  Since we've recently run into problems
with Solaris compilers, it would be nice if a Solaris person would
test things out.

Any takers?

We could make a 1.7.0 tarball as a snapshot of the current development
tree -- would that help?

I don't understand what you've done!  :-)

I'm getting a bit worried that the "test runner" stuff is getting out
of hand.  Once upon a time I posted a sketch of how to rework the
classes to (in my view) drastically simplify the "runner" code and
make it trivial to implement output by writing a simple "listener"
class.  See

What do you think of the proposals contained therein?  How have
your recent changes modified this?


And there is also the issue of TestCaller versus fixtures, c.f.
the thread starting from

  http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/6780/2001/7/0/6126116/


I'd really like to have this cleaned up for 1.8.  And hopefully I'd be
able to understand CppUnit well enough to write some documentation ...

Thanks for that!
