No, that is what I was trying to ask how to do. I know the specific test cases that fail, but assumed that I should dig deeper into the code to find the root cause prior to reporting it. How much detail should I gather prior to reporting it (given my current time constraints I could report it with little detail now, but won't have time to dig into it more myself for a while). Also running with kaffe gave different failures than running with sablevm and gij (all failed on the same test cases, in different ways); I'm not sure quite what to think of that. > I'd like to help but I'm very busy and it takes me a lot of time to > build with non-free jdk (I'm on ppc, did not generate the ibm jbk debian > package - yeah, it's bad!) Actually, this builds with free-java-sdk. :-) It is simply that a couple test cases fail when executed with free JVMs. > If you don't find nobody to review your package, I'll try to review it > next week, I've sent it to my sponsor, but I was also hoping to get feedback from someone within the Java community. It would be great if you could take a look and give me some pointers. Charles -- Five Hundred Thousand Men Use Burma-Shave http://burma-shave.org/jingles/1930/five
