Re: [Sablevm-developer] 1.1.0 tarballs available for download

[Grzegorz B. P. <ga...@de...>]

Hi again,

Thanks to all who responded. 

The tarball and tag for sablevm-1.1.0 (not classpath) have been
recreated. If you wanted to recreate sablevm-classpath.tar.gz
you need to apply the attached one-liner patch and use old tar.

What will follow:
1. Web pages will be updated with information and links to 1.1.0
  release.
3. Debian packages will be uploaded.
2. Development release announcement will be sent.

Sidenotes:
* It's _so big_ PITA to make a new release after months w/o anybody
trying to go thru all the process...
* I had to change/fix some things, from which most visible is that we
don't put all classpath in /usr/lib/sablevm/classpath anymore but
instead:
  - classes go to /usr/share/sablevm/sablevm-classpath
  - native libs go to /usr/lib/sablevm/sablevm-classpath
* Explanation:
  - according to the FHS we should put arch-independant stuff in "share"
  - "sablevm-classpath" is where classpath's build system puts stuff
    by default, which is the same as the package name; I don't care too
    much as long as it works.
* Documentation (INSTALL-DEVEL) has been updated, note that you should
  use '--datadir=$LOCATION/share/sablevm' while compiling classpath.
* I wonder why using: AC_SUBST(LIBRARY_VERSION, [1:0:1]) results in libs
   w/ ...so.0.1.0, instead of sth like ...so.1.1.0 ? Not a showstopper
   though. 'info libtool' I was told. Does anyone care to fix it?
   Or should we just put 0.0.0 there?

Cheers,
