Request for Help: New Hobbes Testing

[Martin Iturbide]

Hello

I was testing the new functionality on Hobbes (HobbesGram) that allows you to have older versions of the same software package.

I tried it first with this Wacom driver - WACOMOS2.SYS: https://hobbes.os-2.in/file/69c5b310_a5caae38
Check the attached picture.

Let me know what do you think.

This is GNUPlot which has several versions, just to see how it look.

Hi Martin,

this looks great, thanks!

Hi Martin,

I like it.

Martin, I like it also.

Hello

Thanks for the feedback.
For the moment, as a test case,  I had uploaded some older releases on:
/os2/apps/Analysis
/os2/apps/Calc
/os2/apps/Calendar
/os2/apps/Clock

Now I'm thinking if I should do the same for Drivers and Libraries, that we usually have all different releases on different files registries.

I will keep testing little by little and see how the idea evolves.

Regards

Hello

What do you think about Thunderbird. It has 21 releases and I think I'm missing more.
But how does it looks?... and yes, the dates by release are wrong it will take too much time to adjust the dates by time.

Regfards

Latest P4 builds of the Mozilla apps at ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/tmp/mozilla/ these have minimal optimizations and seem more stable.
Should also have the latest i686 builds for those with older CPU's that don't support SSE.
As for older versions, perhaps the various ESR builds, especially those based on 38esr. Not sure how far back to go, doesn't seem like we need ancient versions. This applies to TB, SM and FF.
BTW, I lost access to the sourceforge account when changing phones so now the projects live in https://github.com/dryeo/mozilla-aos for Firefox and needed for building TB and SM where their code now lives in https://github.com/dryeo/cc-aos.
Once Bitwise updates GCC, it will become very hard to build these.

Thanks Dave

Did you recently compiled these on the 12 of July? Yesterday when organizing Thunderbird I was just thinking about that, that it will be good to compile it with the latest libs.
Thanks

uhm... I don't know. I think the older versions do not bother that much on the design that Jason did for Hobbes, and it seems we don't have space issues with the server yet.

They were compiled about a year ago, only packaged TB the other day.
Perhaps I should rebuild all, plus i686 versions?

Hello

Perhaps I should rebuild all, plus i686 versions?

I think a new rebuild with the latest libraries is good, especially for pentium4. i685 can be a plus I guess, but that this is only my opinion because I no longer use i686.
