Sir,
In response to your
request for a poll, I wasn't sure if I should attempt to post to the mailing
list (haven't ever done that) or send this directly to you. I opted for
the easier solution as I’m very new to the Apache forum techniques.

Subject: Re: 0.9.8 version (poll)
[snipped]
We are in a bit of a chicken and egg
syndrome, people won't check out
the new changes in log4cxx until there
is a release and we shouldn't be
releasing software that hasn't been
tested. I would encourage as many
people as possible to try the CVS
version and log any issues that you
have on the JIRA and mention whether you
consider them to be
showstoppers for a 0.9.8 release.
I haven’t
figured out how to get the release out of CVS. I read the [very terse]
instructions, but haven’t gotten there. I’ve already found
several problems with DailyRollingFileAppender, which I understand is
deprecated. I’ll certainly make the effort to bring up 0.9.8(dev).
So, let me throw out a few questions for
a poll.
A) Is the current CVS ready for a
release (+1 - yes, 0 - haven't tried
it/maybe, -1 no). If 0 or -1
explain.
0 – 0.9.7 has
problems I wouldn’t put in product, but those problems are obsolete. I
haven’t pulled over the new CVS code, so don’t know what to expect.
It’s on my medium-to-low priority list.
B) Should log4cxx encourage the
Incubator PMC to finish up their vote?
(+1/0/-1)
+1 – I’m
trying to retire a home-grown logger and make things consistent with the Java
group. (I’m in Cincom Smalltalk connecting to the C/C++ world.)
If this works reliably, we may very well try to use this from Gemstone as well.
C) Should log4cxx petition the Incubator
PMC for a sanction for a code snapshot?
+1 – If (B)
fails, go for a code snapshot.
D) What platforms/compilers need to be
tested before release/code
snapshot: (list all that apply)
1. x86 Linux/gcc
2.
Windows/Visual C++ 5
3.
Windows/Visual C++ 6
4.
Windows/Visual C++ 2001
5.
Windows/Visual C++ 2003
6.
Windows/Visual C++ 2005
7.
Windows/Borland (5.5 or CBuilderX)
8. Cygwin
9. MinGW
10. FreeBSD
11. NetBSD
12. Mac OS/X
13. x86_64 Linux/gcc
14. x86_64 Windows/appropriate MS
compiler
15. Others (plus describe)
Item 3 for Windows, plus
HP/UX, possibly Solaris. (I know we have development environments, but
haven’t used them yet.)
E) What platforms are you able to test:
(list all that apply)
Windows/XP SP1, HP/UX
11.11, possibly Solaris 8 (I don’t think we’re running 9, and don’t
know if I have access to the server). I still have a Windows/2K
available, if you want that one.
F) What platforms have you tested (list
all that apply)
Windows/XP SP1.
