[Php-java-bridge-users] install-probs and tags, status of CVS

[<php...@li...>]

Hi Jost,

I am really astonished be the work that you are doing with the
java-bridge. Since it is still constantly improving I jump in on more
recent versions every once in a while to keep up.

I like to use CVS for this since it is so easy to update or switch
between tags/releaes/branches and alike.

Running an update today (3.0.8-dev to 3.1.8-dev) I had a lot of trouble
getting everything to work. In this case I tried to switch to some
reliable/stable code-base and therfor tried to find an appropriate tags
in CVS.

Sadly you seem to have quit tagging or branching in CVS for quite a
while and what even was worse to me now is that from your CVS-log
messages it seems that 3.1.8 was just created really recent, however the
file-release for 3.1.8 on sf date back to 08/2006. Therefor I didn't
find any stable tags/date in CVS.

So as last chance I tried it with the source-tarball from SF.

The good news: It is just working as intended. :->

The bad news: It seems I am not able to fit my CVS-checkout for exactly
this code by tag or date or neither can I try to find out about the
problems I ran into. :-< [1]

Anyway I would really greatly appreciate the usage of tags/branches in
CVS. ;)

Yes, I know CVS is mostly intended for developers only...

Greets,
Peter

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /dev/shm/.php_java_bridge
(in jakarta logfile)
the "quick and dirty" backend as child of httpd on restart didn't work
at all
