Hi Kaffe lovers,
Here is a summary of bugs that has been reported to kaffe Debian
package. I try to comment every bugs, but thanks to comment it also.
Each bug is separated by a line. First, there is the bug number (you can
find it if you point your browser to http://bugs.debian.org/XXX where
XXX is the number without the '#'), title of the bug, number of days the
bug has been reported. After that, I boxed a custom summary of different
mails that have been exchanged about the bug; then a personnal note
about the bug. There is a title to the 'box': `Debian' title means the
bug has to be resolved by Debian (or anyone who want to help);
`Kaffe' title means the bug is in the kaffe side.
To be clear in your replies, cleanup all non relevant informations
(including this text ;-))

Ean, Doogie, the Debian package is really complicated and I don't have
that time to give to a single package. We have to split the build
process to arch-dep and indep. The split is done *after* the package has
been built... we need to split the process *before*.

| Yep, I've also fixed some other build problems with jit3 for mips(el),
| so the CVS head crosscompiles fine for mips. I'm working with arnaud
| on making a 'dist' of CVS head build fine on all debian platforms,
| natively.

* config/mips/jit3-mips.def: Changed LOUT to use
jit3 syntax.
Dalibor, Is #259055 closed for you (or maybe another Changelog entry?)?

| Hard to say something! Maybe kaffe is not doing the job on AMD64!
|
| I've just rebuild servletapi with pbuilder on powerpc and everything
| was fine.
`----
Is Kaffe running well on amd64? Is Kaffe running ant1.6 on amd64 has
already been reported successfully?

Normal bugs - outstanding (6 bugs)
* #159162: sid Kaffe does not support LFS; 1 year and 345 days old.
,----[ Kaffe ]
| Kaffe fails when extending files to more than 2Gb-1 (when running
| freenet). This suggests it has been compiled without large file
| support.
`----
This bug was reported for release 1.0.6 of Kaffe. I parsed all the
change logs and did not find anything about that.
_________________________________________________________________
* #175877: kaffe: Scrollpane has no size; is otherwise broken; 1
year and 216 days old.
,----[ Kaffe ]
| A Scrollpane doesn't seem to want to take up any space. An example
| showing the bug is:
| http://www.scism.sbu.ac.uk/jfl/hci97/morning/scrollpane/ScrollPaneExample.java
|
| This example works correctly in the Sun JRE 1.4.1.
`----
There are more details in the bug report. The report was sent against
release 1.0.7 but I think I tried this a month or two ago and the bug was
still present. Now, with the progress of the Classpath AWT/Swing merge,
I don't know what is the status of this bug.
_________________________________________________________________
* #234191: kaffe: TextField.setEchoChar() is not compatible with the
delete key; 172 days old.
,----[ Kaffe ]
| If I press delete or backspace in a TextField which has had an echo
| character set for it, nothing visible happens. If I then select a few of
| the characters which should have been deleted and try to write to them,
| I get ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions after a little while.
|
| From a quick look at TextField.java, I notice that keyPressed() calls
| textBuf.remove() when I do this, but doesn't repeat this for hiddenBuf.
`----
This one was reported against release 1.1.3.
2004-07-22 Dalibor Topic <robilad at kaffe.org>
Big AWT/Swing merge from Classpath.
java.awt.TextField was one of the source file. Is the problem known or
still present?
_________________________________________________________________
* #253755: kaffe: Javasound no longer works; 62 days old.
,----[ Debian ]
| Reporter> Javasound has stopped working since the last release.
|
| Dalibor> Kaffe should work with both ALSA and ESD. Chances are that you
| Dalibor> need to include the dependencies of these packages, too, I
| Dalibor> don;t know if debian's packaging system resolves that kind of
| Dalibor> things automatically.
`----
I already tried to build with sound but I think it did not build on some
arches. Am I right? Does the sound work on every arches?
If not, which architectures are supposed to work, not work with sound?
_________________________________________________________________
* #255418: kaffe: Error when directory containing the class has
special characters; 52 days old.
,----[ Kaffe ]
| when the directory containing the class file of a program contains
| special characters (for example german umlauts), the execution fails
| with a ClassNotFoundExeption.
`----
Is it known?
_________________________________________________________________
* #261188: kaffe: Kaffe javah not registered in alternatives;
19 days old.
,----[ Debian ]
| Kaffe does not install it's javah in the alternatives
| system during installation.
`----
We (Debian) need to add a manpage and an entry to the postinst
_________________________________________________________________
Normal bugs - forwarded to upstream software authors (1 bug)
* #255502: kaffe: Incorrect result due to computations in extended
precision on x86; 52 days old.
,----[ Kaffe ]
| Concerning the following Java source:
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------
| // $Id: test.java 3730 2004-06-21 13:02:51Z lefevre $
|
| public class test {
| public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
| test t = new test();
| t.doTest();
| }
|
| volatile double x, y, z;
|
| public void doTest() {
| x = 9007199254740994.0; /* 2^53 + 2 */
| y = 1.0 - 1/65536.0;
| z = x + y;
| System.out.println("z = " + z);
| }
| }
| ------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| I've compiled it with "gcj -C test.java" (GCC 3.3.4).
|
| Sun's JVM gives the correct result:
|
| greux:~/wd/src/fp> /usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin/java test
| z = 9.007199254740994E15
|
| but not kaffe:
|
| greux:~/wd/src/fp> kaffe test
| z = 9.007199254740996E15
|
| kaffe should switch the FPU of the x86 processor (Pentium III in my
| case) to rounding in double precision to avoid the effect of the
| "double rounding" (you may find some information about this effect
| here: <http://www.srware.com/linux_numerics.txt>).
`----
Good luck for this one ;-)
