[Squeak-VMdev] So this is where everyone has been hanging out...

[Ned K. <ne...@bi...>]

Hi everyone!

I think most of you know me by now, so I'll skip the introduction.

A couple of thoughts and questions:

* I agree with Bert that it would be great to have a really-packaged 
version of the Linux VM ready for 3.6.

* What's the status of Ian's work? Is it in the tree, or is there some 
more merging to be done?

* Do the restrictions that Ian has put in the comments of his sources 
allow anyone to make changes? Seems like making a modification in the 
CVS tree would require renaming the files.

* I hope we'll be shipping all the VMs with the Regex Plugin. I've 
fixed a couple of bugs in the Smalltalk side. I'd also like to 
consider adding the Regex package to the Basic image distribution, 
but that's probably better discussed on another list.

* I'm doing a Linux version of John's new serial stuff under Linux. 
Mostly this means doing the serial device enumeration in Squeak, 
rather than in the plugin (it's easier there...). Is anyone 
interested in making this work on other Unix systems? If so, we 
should coordinate our efforts.

* I'd also like to see John's new serial work made available for 
Windows, if possible. Is there any interest in doing this?

Thanks,
