Hi Everyone!
I'm the new maintainer of the Sather package. (all new to Sather and fsf!)
(the current) Sather 1.2.3 compiles (and works) with :
GNU/Linux i686 (kernel 2.6.18)
- gcc 4.3.2
- binutils 2.18.1
- libdevel 6.8
- libgc-dev 6.8
- tk 8.4.16
- tk-dev 8.4.16
There is a bug in the browser. ("May crash later:")
I think I'll start by looking at that (3-4 weeks?)...
I have a lot to learn, and I think finding and fixing a bug is the best way to "get one's hands dirty".
Then I'll probably need to look at the documentation, the savannah pages, the list of todo items ...
(I can dedicate about 4 to 6 hours of work per week on this... So I'll need help)
Working on Sather could be a very enriching experience.
Does anyone care to join???
regards,
Fadi
This weekend I updated the Savannah project area for GNU Sather so that it can now be used as a central place for GNU Sather development. The code is hosted in a Bazaar repository on Savannah, and the Savannah site will also be a great place to list bugs, patches, support requests, etc.
I encourage everyone to try out the 'trunk' in the Bazaar repo. There aren't many changes from v1.2.3, but the build system and source layout have been cleaned up a little.
I'm going to focus on two platforms for GNU Sather, GNU/Linux and MS Windows, since I know that I can test/develop GNU Sather on these two platforms. I'm hoping that most platforms will be very similar to one of these two, however, if anybody wants to support another platform, please, go ahead.
