http://svn.opengroupware.org/SOPE/branches/sope-4.7-gsmake-1.98
As the name indicates, I started this pretty early. I use this branch
to deploy projects compiled with gnustep-make-trunk/gnustep-base-trunk
on FreeBSD 6.x but didn't bother to rename it, just for the records.
I haven't merged changes from SOPE trunk for quite some time now, but
this is straightforward - except for the Makefiles there's really not
that much to take care of.
There's one exception though: NGResourceLocator.m has been modified to
somehow work with the changed environment in gsmake-2, but it's far
from being perfect and/or complete. I think that this part needs quite
some work - I don't remember all the implications that came to mind
when I first reviewed it, but there were quite a lot of things.
What springs to mind: Despite having proper major.minor versioning in
all SOPE related projects (SOGo/OGo), standard NSBundle dependend
resource lookup in gstep-make 2.0 based gstep-base won't be able to
lookup resources in an FHS environment properly. There's no (working)
provision for versioned resources in gstep-base AFAIK, which is
absolutely required for FHS, however (if you want to have parallel
installs of different versions of the same software, that is). You
just can't obsolete NGResourceLocator's inner working model and base
it upon NSBundle from gstep-base, thinking, now that they have FHS
"support" everything works without further modifications - wrong!
Also, NGResourceLocator needs to be rewritten quite a bit, because
some of the hints that have been given in the environment prior to
gstep-make 2.0 have been removed with gstep-make 2.0 - you need to
take special care about this and ensure that NGResourceLocator works
properly!
Cheers,
Marcus
