[Sablevm-developer] Help and opinions needed (was: Development Model)

[Prof. E. M. G. <eti...@uq...>]

Hi All.

I have started the process of updating sablepath-classes & sablepath-libs to the 
latest GNU Classpath CVS image.

This will most probably BREAK sablevm.  I will need help to test SableVM and fix 
any bugs this update has introduced.

To help working on this, it would be best if people made suggestions on the CVS 
repository organization.  One important question I have already raised, and that 
we should address quickly [a manager would say: yesterdday! ;-)] is:

> To be decided: Where do we put the experimental class/native

The objective is to get rid of sablepath-libs & sablepath-classes as soon as 
possible, making sure SableVM users can directly use GNU Classpath, instead. 
But, this will require merging our local changes into Classpath CVS.  Before we 
can do that, we have to make sure that "current Classpath CVS + local 
SableVM-specific changes = working SableVM".

Please let me know your opinion about the sablepath-* vs sablevm-experimental 
question.  Also, If you are willing to help with the sablepath update, just say 
so. :-)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Etienne
