[milestone] create freebsd x86_64 binaries?
I've run tests on freebsd 8.0 x86 and x86_64 for the latest milestone
release and placed them at:
http://people.apache.org/~hindessm/testing/5.0M15/freebsd.x86/html/
http://people.apache.org/~hindessm/testing/5.0M15/freebsd.x86_64/html/
The x86 results have lots of crashes but the x86_64 results don't
look too bad. They suffer from the fact that freebsd really needs to
implement sockets using the dual ipv4/ipv6 mechanism that is used by the
windows implementation but I think it is actually pretty good apart from
that.
I think it might be a good idea to create the x86_64 binaries with this
milestone. What do others think?
Regards,
Mark.

I thought Harmony's users are developers too ;)
We could use some user interface libraries make this page more pretty. I
made a demo page, by using Tabs widget from JQuery UI, that group builds
together with tabs, see http://www.yanglang.net/harmony/download.html.
Probably we can have something like this for both hdk5.0 and hdk6.0?

I'm ok with that approach.
As an aside, our download page is looking cluttered already, it would be
good to have somebody with a bit of design sense to make it look more
friendly. Looks like it was put together by a bunch of developers !!

Judging by the evidence of the last few releases, the windows 64-bit
releases belong in the same category as freebsd as I am the only one
testing them too.

Doesn't "milestone" already imply "preview"?
I agree we need to set expectations appropriately but if we don't create
something then we'll never get interesting in addressing the problems.
Incidentally, it is only relatively recently that the ipv6/ipv4 dual
socket issue was resolved on the more typical java ports used on
freebsd so there is an understanding of this problem in the community
this artifact would be for.

Mark.

I'd be uncomfortable about putting them alongside the platforms which we
have tested more thoroughly, and we know work well. Perhaps we can make
a new area for 'previews' or some such idea...?
