Weekly report - 2008-09-19

 

-- 2008-09-19 --
* Finished rebasing of the latest changes on 'main' from Linas (as of
  sep 12th). I've decided to not rebase his latest commits because as
  long as he keeps working directly on 'main', rebasing will be a
  never-ending stream of fruitless work (and I need to push the 'dynmod'
  branch for review asap).
* Make sure we build with gcc 4.3
* Fix the gentoo readme and custom packages
* Add Erickson changes from the petaverse port
* Added version checking to the FindGuile.cmake script (btw, cmake
  sucks!)
* Collapsed a few minor commits and discovered "bzr replay", which eases
  a bit of the pain of editing a series of revisions (as there's no
  "-i|--interactive" option in "bzr rebase" :-( )
* Spent an obscene amount of time trying to figure out why the
  guile/scheme module didn't work on the new threaded network server.
  Turns out it was due to a bug in guile/libguile that's been fixed in
  version 1.8.5 (hardy has 1.8.3).
* Properly backported the guile packages. Turns out way more anoying
  than I'd expect.
* Fixed my testing deb repository by properly learning about and using
  apt-ftparchive
* Setup a local pbuilder to ease fixing ppa-related problems
* Fixed a handful of bugs due to cmake's version incompatibilities
* published the opencog packages to my launchpad ppa
* pushed the dynmod branch
* pushed the sampleagents tree
* retested on my local ubuntu VM; everything seems ok now
* wrote the announcement email (with brief "get started" docs)
* quick chat with dhart about the new branch and possible alternatives
  to properly add multi-threads support in opencog
